Keean Bexte ~ Liberal MP William Amos flashes the nation by appearing in front of the House of Commons, live, while buck naked.
A Canadian lawmaker accidentally appeared naked in a video call Wednesday with other MPs.
A still photograph of the screen view during the meeting was widely circulated on Twitter, showing William Amos with no clothes on but holding a black object.
Although the above tweet described Amos as flashing "the nation," the video feed was an internal one available only within the Canadian parliament.
Amos, a member of Canada's governing Liberal party, appeared onscreen unclothed and moving around his office on a House of Commons video feed visible to MPs and staff, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported.
Amos represents the Quebec constituency of Pontiac. He said in a bilingual Twitter apology that the appearance was the result of "a really unfortunate mistake."
"My camera was accidentally left on as I changed into work clothes after going for a jog," he added, apologizing to his colleagues.
"We don't need these sorts of distractions in the pandemic!" he added in French.
As of May last year, Canadian politicians have incorporated "virtual parliament" into their procedures. Unlike the live parliamentary channel ParlVu, the footage of Amos was not visible to the public, CBC reported.
