When MPs convened Tuesday morning to elect a new Speaker, the general consensus was that the moment was a delicate one. But the memory of Anthony Rota’s final hours in the chair wasn't the only thing hanging over Tuesday’s proceedings.
Green Party Co-Leader Elizabeth May says former Speaker Anthony Rota broke his own rules when he recognized in the House of Commons a Ukrainian Second World War veteran who fought for Nazi Germany.
Indigenous Services minister says Anthony Rota did the right thing by tendering his resignation after Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old former Ukrainian veteran, was revealed to have been a volunteer with a Nazi unit during the Second World War.
