I request unanimous consent to remove the recognition given by the Speaker of the House to an individual present in the gallery during a joint address to parliament by Volodymyr Zelensky. This removal should be done from the House of Commons Debates of September 21, 2023, and any House multimedia recording. Thank you.

We apologize for the incident on Friday and extend our apologies to President Zelensky and the Ukrainian delegation. Recognizing the individual in question was a mistake and disrespectful to the victims of the Nazi regime.

An incident in the Canadian House of Commons involving the honoring of a Ukrainian veteran who fought for the Nazis in World War 2 sparked outrage. The Speaker apologized for the oversight, leading to calls for accountability. The Prime Minister's office and Speaker's office both issued statements denouncing the incident. Criticism was directed at the lack of background checks and oversight. The international embarrassment caused by the incident was widely reported. Calls for action and sincere apologies were made to address the situation. The need for repercussions and accountability was emphasized.

I sympathize with all innocent victims of war, but the Jewish experience isn't unique. As someone of Ukrainian descent, I acknowledge that 7 million Ukrainians were murdered, with many perpetrators being Jewish, such as Trotsky, Beria, and Durschinsky. I want to know when I will receive reparations for my people's suffering. We'll take a break and return to address this.

I request unanimous consent to remove the recognition given by the Speaker of the House to an individual present in the gallery during a joint address to parliament by Volodymyr Zelensky.

The speaker's decision to resign due to lack of trust and embarrassment among parliamentarians and Canadians. It impacted various communities, including Jewish and Ukrainian, and tarnished Canada's reputation. Politicizing the issue only worsens the hurt felt by these communities. Moving forward, parliamentarians must elect a new speaker to restore trust and dignity in the house and regain Canadians' trust.

In the House of Commons, the speaker apologized for honoring a Ukrainian veteran who was later revealed to have fought for the Nazis in World War 2. The speaker should step down, and the prime minister's office should explain their involvement. People quickly found out about the incident online. This is unacceptable and insulting, especially on the eve of Yom Kippur. The Liberal Party will lose support if this continues. It was lazy and put many people in a bad spot, including Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Sincere apologies and action are needed to address this international embarrassment.

We apologize for the incident on Friday and extend our apologies to President Zelensky and the Ukrainian delegation. Recognizing the individual in question was a mistake and disrespectful to the victims of the Nazi regime.

Earlier this year, there was Nazi imagery in our nation's capital, which was disturbing for the Jewish community and Canadians. Antisemitism is increasing online and in person, and must be addressed.

Speaker 1 expresses Canada's unwavering support for Ukraine, condemning Vladimir Putin's invasion and violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. They emphasize that Canada stands with Ukraine not only as friends but also to protect the rules-based order and the rights of all democracies. Despite Russian propaganda's attempts to manipulate public opinion, Canada remains committed to standing by Ukraine for as long as necessary.

Friday's events were unacceptable and embarrassing to the House and Canadians. The speaker should listen to members and step down.

I will apologize to Canadians, Jewish people, and Ukrainians for inviting a controversial speaker. The person responsible has resigned. We regret clapping for him, as it dishonored Holocaust victims and hurt many groups. With fewer survivors, we must remember the Holocaust. Canada is sorry for the situation it caused for President Zelensky and Ukraine. It's concerning that Russia is using this mistake for false propaganda.

It's upsetting that this happened. The speaker apologized, but it's embarrassing for Canada and Canadians. We need to support Jewish MPs and the Jewish community on Yom Kippur. We must fight Russian propaganda, stand with Ukraine against Russia's illegal war.

I urge all colleagues, especially those in the conservative party of Canada, to avoid politicizing this issue. It is not beneficial for anyone. Instead, let us acknowledge the mistake, unite in solidarity, and reaffirm our commitment to Jewish Canadians, Ukrainian Canadians, and those fighting for freedom, peace, and justice in Ukraine. Thank you.

No one recognized what was happening, which compounds the grave error and makes it painful. The former speaker acknowledged his mistake and stepped down.
