Anthony Rota, who publicly acknowledged veteran Yaroslav Hunka in the House last Friday and called him a hero, quit as speaker of the chamber on Tuesday and said he bore sole responsibility for what happened.

But on Sept. 22, shortly after Zelenskyy's address to Parliament, Rota introduced Hunka as a Ukrainian Second World War veteran who lives in his riding.

Rota apologised to the House on September 25, insisting the decision to invite Hunka was entirely his own, and effectively ‘took the bullet’ for Trudeau by announcing his resignation the next day.
