A Canadian lawmaker has announced that he will retire temporarily and “ask for help” after being filmed urinating during a parliamentary process – a month earlier he had appeared naked in a teleconference in parliament.
“Last night, while participating online in the work of the House of Commons, in a non-public space, I urinated without realizing that I was being caught on camera,” William Amos wrote in his Twitter apology note. Eimos is a member of Prime Minister Justin Trinto’s Liberal Party. “I am deeply ashamed of my actions and the upset I may have caused to anyone who saw them. “I unreservedly apologize,” he added.
Eimos said he would retain his parliamentary seat, but would “temporarily” leave the committees in which he participates. Among other things, he is an assistant to the Minister of Industry, François-Philippe Champagne. The MP stated that he would ask for help, but did not specify what kind it would be.
Eimos drew the spotlight last April when he appeared naked in a House sitting. At the time, he had stated that he was changing clothes after previously jogging and did not realize that his computer camera was on.
