The Spin

Narrative A

The Canadian government did not know about Hunka's presence before hand. House speaker Rota was right to apologize for this lapse of judgement, but people are urged to not politicize this event so as to avoid further distress to Holocaust survivors.

Narrative B

While an apology is welcome, Canadians also deserve a full explanation of how such a grave mistake could take place at the heart of the country's democracy. It has to be ensured that such a blunder is never again allowed to occur.
