House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota is resigning after he invited a man who fought for the Nazis during World War II.
The Liberal MP who was elected as Speaker in 2019 faced increased pressure this week from the opposition to resign when he invited and recognized a Ukraine military veteran who was given a standing ovation in the House of Commons.
It was found out 98 year old Yaroslav Hunka fought for the First Ukrainian Division, a volunteer unit under the command of the Nazis.
A Polish government minister has also launched a bid to have Hunka extradited and determine is Hunka is wanted for crimes against the Polish nation or Poles of Jewish origin.
