Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather said it's a delicate issue because the government doesn't want to "bring pain to a lot of Eastern European communities."

Quebec Conservative MP Gérard Deltell, Poilieve's environment critic, said Wednesday he's not open to revisiting the issue right now.

"I don't think so," he said when asked if the secret report should be released for all to read.

"I don't think it's the occasion to review it. At this time — I'm not there. I don't think it's time to review everything. History is history," he said.

Deltell said that as the son of a Canadian Second World War veteran, the ill-fated celebration of Hunka was a painful moment for him personally.

"I can't imagine what would have been his reaction to his son giving a standing ovation to a Nazi," Deltell said of his late father, who lived with German shrapnel lodged in his head until his recent passing.
