> On September 22, 2023, following an address to the Canadian parliament by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Rota introduced and recognized Yaroslav Hunka in the parliamentary galleries. He identified Hunka as a "war hero" who fought for the First Ukrainian Division; Hunka was applauded by members of all parties. Subsequent media reports identified Hunka as having been a member of the 14th SS Division in World War II. Two days later Rota issued an apology saying that more information had come to light, causing him to regret having invited Hunka.<p>Wow, this is basically a storyline from The Thick of It or similar.<p>(I have the vague memory of more or less exactly this playing out in some sitcom, possibly The Thick of It or Yes Minister.)
