Canadian lawmaker William Amos caught on camera urinating in coffee cup just weeks after naked gaffe
- The politician was talking on the phone at his desk when he decided to urinate in a coffee cup rather than pause or end his call, according to reporters
- Amos, who accidentally appeared naked on an internal government video feed last month, says he is stepping down from some duties and ‘seeking assistance’
A Canadian lawmaker is temporarily stepping down from some duties and is “seeking assistance” after being caught on camera urinating during parliamentary proceedings, a month after being caught on camera naked during another virtual appearance.
“Last night, while attending House of Commons proceedings virtually, in a non-public setting, I urinated without realising I was on camera,” said William Amos, a member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s ruling Liberal party, in an apology posted to Twitter late on Thursday.
“I am deeply embarrassed by my actions and the distress they may have caused anybody who witnessed them,” he said. “I apologise unreservedly.”
Amos was talking on the phone at his desk when he decided to urinate in a coffee cup rather than pause or end his call, political reporters said on Twitter, citing sources.
Canada‘s official opposition Conservatives called Amos’ behaviour unacceptable and questioned whether the incident was an accident.
