Hi! I may do just that, depending on where this story goes this week. The history of the Galicia Division (in which he fought) is really complicated. Canada actually coneucted a big investigation into the divisionnin the 80s and concluded that there was no evidence that the division, as a whole, committed war crimes. At the same time, it's hard to argue with the idea that anyone who fought in an SS division should not have been given a standing ovation in the House.

Justin, I just saw Speaker Anthony Rota's staatement and apology via a Twitter post regarding Hunka's recognition by him of Hunka's presence in the HOC gallery on Sept 22. Rota takes full responsibility, for the invitation and the public gesture of recognition. Thank you very much for replying to my comment. To a large extent this statement of apology and regret by the Speaker clears things up for me.
