A Canadian lawmaker was caught in the buff during a House of Commons virtual conference on Wednesday, according to a report.
Liberal MP William Amos was filmed on camera naked in his office, flanked by Quebec and Canadian flags, according to a screenshot obtained by The Canadian Press, CTV News reported.
The incident occurred during question period.
The 46-year-old lawmaker, who represents parts of Quebec, later apologized for the screening, which he said was involuntary.
“It was an unfortunate mistake,” Amos said a statement tweeted for CTV News reporter Rachel Aiello.
“My video was accidentally activated when I changed into work clothes after jogging. I sincerely apologize to my colleagues in the House of Commons for this involuntary distraction, ”he said.
Amos did not speak during the virtual session.
According to reports, the whip of the Liberal Party, MP Claude DeBellefeuille, addressed the incident after the interrogation period.
DeBellefeuille said parliamentary decorum requires male deputies to wear formal attire, including underwear.
