May I remind you of Article 2 of the Parlimentry Procedures act part 6

QUOTE
6. The Speaker will fulfill his duties as an elected representative. The Speaker will cast a normal vote along with the other members when voting is in process. However, the Speaker will not cast a vote until it is sure that a majority of Members of Parliament have voted on a question, in case that there should be a tie to break.

it states you must vote last though.

It is only a pointer of something I noticed, as they do not contradict it would be advisable to follow it.
