Canadian lawmaker caught naked

-

ACanadian Parliament member was caught stark naked in a virtual meeting of the House of Commons.

William Amos, who has represente­d the Quebec district of Pontiac since 2015, appeared on the screens of his fellow lawmakers completely naked on Wednesday. The pandemic has meant many Canadian lawmakers participat­e in sessions via video conference instead of in person.

A screenshot obtained by The Canadian Press shows 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.

“This was an unfortunat­e error,?” Amos said in a statement sent by email. “My video was accidental­ly turned on as I was changing into my work clothes after going for a jog. I sincerely apologise to my colleagues in the House of Commons for this unintentio­nal distractio­n. Obviously, it was an honest mistake and it won’t happen again.”
