0:52Now PlayingAnthony Rota, the Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons, has apologized after a man who fought with a Nazi-linked unit during the Second World War was honored, and called a “hero” by him, during President Volodymyr Zelensky visit last week.
Yaroslav Hunka, 98, was applauded by parliamentarians after he was introduced as a hero by Rota. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Hunka’s appearance “deeply embarrassing” when the nature of his war involvement came to light. In his statement, Rota took full responsibility. “This initiative was entirely my own,” he said.
Michael Mostyn, of B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish rights group, said it was “beyond outrageous that Parliament has honored a former member of a Nazi unit in this way. Canadian soldiers fought and died to free the world from the evils of Nazi brutality.”
