Liberal House Leader Karina Gould failed on Sept. 25 to win a unanimous vote to strike from the House of Commons appendix the House speaker’s comments regarding a former soldier who fought for the Nazis.
“It goes without saying that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it,” Conservative MP Marty Morantz said in the House of Commons following the failed vote. “What happened on Friday was shameful and brought embarrassment to this chamber. It was an ugly reminder of what survivors of the Holocaust know too well—that we must never forget.”
