Mr Rota introduced Mr Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
It later was publicised that the First Ukrainian Division was also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.
“This is something that has brought shame and embarrassment to all of Parliament and indeed all Canadians. The speaker did the honourable thing in resigning,” Ms Gould said.“This incident hurt me personally as it hurt all members of this House and all Canadians,” she said. In an earlier apology on Sunday, Mr Rota said he alone was responsible for inviting and recognising Mr Hunka, who is from the district that Mr Rota represents.
