Canadian House of Commons leader Anthony Rota resigned on Tuesday after inviting a veteran of the Nazi Waffen SS unit to attend parliament during a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“No one in this House is superior to any of us. Therefore, I must resign as speaker,” Anthony Rota told MPs, adding: “I repeat my deep regret for my mistake in recognizing a person in the House of Representatives during Zelensky’s joint speech to parliament.”
“This public confession has caused pain to individuals and communities, including the Jewish community in Canada and around the world, as well as survivors of Nazism in Poland and other countries. I take full responsibility for my actions,” he added.
