Tour Centre Block with the Speaker of the House of Commons

Canada's Parliament has welcomed prime ministers, kings, queens and presidents. Its chambers have handled legislation that has forever changed Canada, and its halls have seen scandal.

And starting this month, its doors will be closed for a decade.

The House of Commons moves into the newly renovated West Block for the duration of the renovations in Centre Block, while the Senate will move off Parliament Hill.

Even with the politicians elsewhere, every detail of Parliament's stone corridors has a story to tell, from the portraits and carvings to the scars left behind in Centre Block by a gunman's attack in 2014.

One of the people who spends much of his time on Parliament Hill is the Speaker of the House of Commons — and we asked Geoff Regan to give us a tour of the parts of Centre Block that tourists and journalists almost never see, and to share his memories of the building.
