A Canadian MP videotaped himself naked on Zoom in what he calls an “unfortunate mistake”.
Will Amos says he was changing into his work clothes after going for a jog and didn’t realize his camera was on during a virtual parliamentary sitting.
Amos says his camera was accidentally left on and he’s embarrassed by the incident in which he has since apologised for.
“I made a really unfortunate mistake today and obviously I’m embarrassed by it. I sincerely apologise to all my colleagues in the House,” he said.
“It was an honest mistake and it won’t happen again.”
Following the accidental exposure, MP Claude DeBellefeuille brought it to the attention of Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota.
“As you know, since the beginning of the pandemic we have tried to emphasise the importance of respecting… the dress code here in the House,” she said as reported by ABC News.
“Today we’ve set a new record. We’ve seen a member during question period improperly dressed – that is, unclothed.
“We have seen that the member was in very good shape,” she joked, “but I think that this member should be reminded of what is appropriate and to control his camera.”
