Liberal MP William Amos has once again been caught unaware on webcam.
Amos, who has represented the Quebec riding of Pontiac since 2015, released a statement issued Thursday apologizing for urinating while virtually attending House of Commons proceedings.
He says he’ll be stepping aside temporarily from his role as parliamentary secretary to Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and from his committee duties so he can get help.The Quebec MP states that he didn’t realize he was on camera and is deeply embarrassed by his actions and the distress they may have caused to those who witnessed them.
“While accidental and not visible to the public, this was completely unacceptable, and I apologize unreservedly,” he said in the statement.
In April, Amos made headlines around the world after he appeared naked on an internal parliamentary feed of virtual question period.
He has said he was changing his clothes after a jog and did not realize his laptop camera was turned on and Bloc Quebecois MP Sebastien Lemire later apologized for taking a screenshot of the moment.
The screenshot showed Amos standing behind a desk between the Quebec and Canadian flags, his private parts hidden by what appears to be a mobile phone in one hand.
After the incident, Speaker Anthony Rota reminded MPs to always be vigilant when they are near a camera and microphone.
Actually, I think he was caught on camera, urinating.
Not urinating on camera... which would be totally disgusting.
I said “God I hate politics” on a live mic only to have a chorus of managers pipe up and agree to my surprise.
No need to apologize for that one AND I got what I wanted from the team.
Crazy.
I’ll keep the urinating on camera thing in my back pocket. Could prove useful in a dire situation.
Rats keeping it classy. /s
Yes, a very poor headline. Media is dead in more ways than one.
well northern rats anyway
Calls to mind that scene with Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun.
Yes another Canadian. That said this story needs to be examined by Jeffrey Toobin.
Well, somebody’s gotta fill those bottles of Molson.......
>>>Well, somebody’s gotta fill those bottles of Molson.......
Or Labatts like their 50.
Canadian beer is OK when it’s ice cold, but when it gets above a certain temp, it tastes like licking the bottom of an ashtray.......
So now if someone calls this Canadian “hoser” he’ll have to stop short of denying it.
Historical TV fact:
Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of fictional Canadian brothers who hosted “Great White North” on SCTV and later CBC TV in 1980, frequently employing the interjection “Eh?” and derisively calling each other “hoser.
“Calls to mind that scene with Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun.”
I was just thinking the same thing. I almost died laughing from that one scene.
Leslie Nielsen, RIP.
If it’s his camera he should be allowed to pee on it if he wants
It’s actually the same Canadian!
Yeah, it used to be that the kids who couldn't do Math majored in English, Journalism or Art History. Now the Journalism majors don't even know English.
Liberals are above such vulgar things as urinating.
The one eyed monster facing off against the all-seeing eye.
He actually had an elder brother who was a member of parliament in Canada. Erik Nielsen.
