I have a hard time seeing what good this would do. The focus should entirely be on Rota’s mistake.
The dude’s damn near a centenarian. Even if someone in government goes through the effort to circumvent protocol and allow the extradition of someone who has not (and likely can not, at this point) been able to be convicted of anything, even odds he passes away before the standard bureaucracy is done.
Similar the Conservative effort to pin blame directly on the Prime Minister instead of the House Speaker, this feels less like a genuine response to this really shitty thing that happened, and more like an attempt to use the situation to score political points. /shurg
The Conservative response to a mistake anywhere in the entire federal government is to blame Trudeau
Pretty weird move from an education minister, too, unless Polish politics are very different from ours.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Friday, Hunka was invited to sit in the parliamentary gallery by Speaker Anthony Rota for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to Parliament.
“In view of the scandalous events in the Canadian Parliament, which involved honouring, in the presence of President Zelenskyy, a member of the criminal Nazi SS Galizien formation, I have taken steps towards the possible extradition of this man to Poland,” Przemysław Czarnek said in a social media post Tuesday.
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Arif Virani told reporters Tuesday that he can’t comment on Czarnek’s move because no extradition request has come across his desk and no one from the Polish government has reached out to him.
On Monday, the Bloc Québécois requested a meeting with Rota and the other parties’ House leaders, according to a letter obtained by CBC News.
On Monday afternoon, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet issued a statement calling for Rota’s resignation, saying his errors have caused damage and that he has lost the confidence of the House.
The Speaker was allocated a set number of spots in the viewing gallery and the list of potential guests was shared with Parliament’s Protocol Office, which co-ordinates the sending of invitations.
