Canadian politician apologizes after urinating during video call

It was the second such mishap involving William Amos, who represents Pontiac in Quebec. In April, he appeared naked on another video session with colleagues and said he had accidentally turned his video on while changing into work clothes after going for a jog. At the time Mr Amos said he was "embarrassed" by the incident but said the "honest mistake" would not happen again.

"Last night, while attending House of Commons proceedings virtually, I urinated without realizing I was on camera. I am deeply embarrassed by my actions and the distress they may have caused anybody who witnessed them," Mr Amos said on Thursday. He described the latest incident as "accidental".

In his statement, the politician, who is a member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal party, said he would temporarily step away from some duties while continuing to represent his constituency.

He added he would "seek assistance" - without elaborating on what this would involve or what he would seek help for. "I am deeply appreciative for the support of my staff and the love of my family," he added.

(Either he has the camera in his bathroom, or was urinating outside of the bathroom)
