The speaker of the House of Commons in Canada has resigned after inviting someone who fought for the Nazis as a distinguished guest for a presidential address last week.
"No one in this House is above any of us. Therefore, I must step down as your speaker," Rota said in Parliament on Tuesday. "I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognizing an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelenskyy.
He added: "That public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities, including to the Jewish community in Canada and around the world in addition to Nazi survivors in Poland among other nations. I accept full responsibility for my actions."
