Canada's House of Commons on Tuesday will vote to select a new speaker after the previous one quit following an uproar for unknowingly inviting a former Nazi soldier to a special parliamentary session in honor of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
. He took full responsibility for inviting Yaroslav Hunka, 98, a Polish-born Ukrainian who served in one of Adolf Hitler's Waffen SS units during World War Two, to the House when Zelenskiy spoke on Sept. 22.
The voting will kick off at 10 a.m. ET , when each of the at least eight candidates will be allowed to make a brief speech. The members of the 338-seat House will then vote by secret ballot, ranking the candidates in order of preference. Among the candidates are Liberal Greg Fergus, who if elected would be the first person of color to become speaker. Liberal Sean Casey would be the first speaker from Prince Edward Island.
