Good on him. I feel embarrassed when I see clips of what goes on in Parliament

What was PP's question?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Greg Fergus, who was elected Speaker earlier this month, advised MPs on October 4 that he would be coming forward with "reflective guidelines" to foster civility in the House.

Less than three minutes into his statement, Conservative deputy whip Chris Warkentin stood on a point of order to suggest Fergus was filibustering the House and ask when the Speaker expected to be done.

"I decided to stand for Speaker because in the eight years that I have been a member, and prior to that as a keen follower of parliamentary proceedings, I have noticed a deterioration in the collective decorum in this place," Fergus said, shortly before Warkentin's interruption.

Despite much evidence to the contrary, it suggests that politics is not fated to be practised at the level of the schoolyard — that adults are capable of behaving in a way that doesn't embarrass themselves or the the central institution of Canadian democracy.

Fergus said he would use the tools at his disposal to pursue these issues, but also vowed to work with MPs and parties privately to "see how we can join forces in our collective objective to improve the decorum in our proceedings."

Depending on how hard Fergus pushes, he may face claims that he's unnecessarily restricting MPs' freedom of speech or ability to hold the government to account.

It's fun to be embarrassed about the next government already...

Every single Speaker makes this speech - including Andrew Scheer himself.

No reason to expect this one to suddenly have an impact.
