It was later mentioned that Hunka offered in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, a Nazi armed forces system.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed this was “clearly unacceptable.”
“This is something that is deeply embarrassing to the parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians,” he informed press reporters.
A little intrigue allied with Trudeau’s Liberals asked for Rota to surrender while the major resistance Conservatives knocked the Trudeau management for falling short to appropriately veterinarian Hunka, regardless of cases it had no breakthrough notification he had actually been welcomed to the occasion.
A Jewish campaigning for team called the occurrence “shocking” as well as “incredibly disturbing.”
Rota, a Liberal MP, apologised on Sunday, stating that he had “subsequently become aware of more information” which created him to “regret” his acknowledgment of Hunka.
“This initiative was entirely my own… I particularly want to extend my deepest apologies to Jewish communities in Canada and around the world,” he claimed, duplicating his talk about Monday in the House.
