0:43Now PlayingCanadian lawmakers are demanding that a parliamentary official resign after he invited a Ukrainian war veteran who fought in a Nazi unit to be a featured guest during President’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s speech last week.
The episode is deeply embarrassing to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, though his staff say the government had no knowledge about the invitation ahead of time, and neither did the Ukrainian delegation.
The guest, Yaroslav Hunka, was invited to the House of Commons by its presiding officer, Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced the 98-year-old after Zelenskiy’s speech on Friday. Rota, a Liberal lawmaker, described him as a Ukrainian-Canadian Second World War veteran “who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians.”
