00:00 We have here in the chamber today a Ukrainian-Canadian World Veteran from the Second World War who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians,
00:13 and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.
00:18 [Applause]
00:47 His name is Yaroslav Hanka.
00:51 And I was going to say he's in the gallery, but I think you beat me to that.
00:56 [Laughter]
00:57 But I'm very proud to say that he is from North Bay and from my writing of "Nipissing Tamiskaming."
01:03 [Laughter and applause]
01:09 He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service.
01:14 Thank you.
01:15 [Applause]
