Speaker Anthony Rota said he regretted his invitation in a statement.
The Speaker of Canada’s House of Commons Anthony Rota has issued an apology days after he drew attention to a man who fought in a military unit under the Nazis in the Second World War.
The apology came in the wake of a statement from The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies on Sunday which said Mr Hunka and his division “was responsible for the mass murder of innocent civilians with a level of brutality and malice that is unimaginable”.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office also issued a statement on the issue, that stated Mr Rota had apologised and accepted full responsibility for issuing the invitation to Mr Hunka.The statement said: “This was the right thing to do. No advance notice was provided to the Prime Minister’s Office, nor the Ukrainian delegation, about the invitation or the recognition.”
