He is the member of Parliament (MP) for Hull?Aylmer. A member of the Liberal Party, Fergus was first elected in the 2015 federal election and has held a number of portfolios as a parliamentary secretary. Before his election to Parliament, Fergus worked as a political staffer. Early life and education Fergus' paternal grandfather immigrated to Canada from the British colony of Montserrat.[2] His mother is from Jamaica.[3] Greg Fergus studied at public English elementary schools, Westpark and Sunnydale, and later attended Lindsay Place High School.[4] After a teachers? strike affected his schooling, his parents decided to send him to Selwyn House School, a private boys? school, followed by Marianopolis College, and he later earned two bachelor's degrees, one from the University of Ottawa and the other in international relations from Carleton University.[2][4][5][6] At Selwyn House, which he attended from Grade 9 to 11, he was classmates with entrepreneurs Vincenzo Guzzo, Mark Pathy and Michael Penner, who later served as chairman of Hydro-Québec.[7][8][9] Fergus was president of the Young Liberals of Canada from 1994 to 1996, where he attracted attention for supporting the passage of a motion calling on the Liberal Party to support same-sex marriage.

In 2007, Stéphane Dion named him the national director of the Liberal Party.[10][6] Political career In the 2015 federal election, Fergus was nominated as the Liberal candidate in Hull?Aylmer, a traditionally Liberal riding that had fallen to the New Democratic Party in the previous election. The contest was attended by some controversy, as NDP incumbent Nycole Turmel accused Fergus' campaign of spreading rumours that she was terminally ill, which Fergus denied.[11] Fergus won the election by over 11,000 votes in a race that was expected to be close by the New Democratic Party and Liberals.
