Liberal MP caught on camera unawares — again — during virtual House of Commons
William Amos says he is stepping away from parliamentary secretary duties to seek help
Liberal MP William Amos has once again been caught unawares on webcam.
Amos said in a statement posted to Twitter that while he was taking part in a virtual session of the House of Commons the previous day, he "urinated without realizing (he) was on camera."
He says this was "accidental" and could not be viewed by the public, but was nonetheless "completely unacceptable" and that he apologizes without reservation.

—@WillAAmosThe Quebec MP says he is temporarily stepping away from his role as parliamentary secretary to Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and from his committee work so that he can get help. He did not elaborate on what kind of help.
Last month, Amos made headlines around the world after he appeared naked on an internal parliamentary feed of virtual question period.
Amos has said he was changing his clothes after a jog and did not realize his laptop camera was turned on and Bloc Quebecois MP Sebastien Lemire later apologized for taking a screenshot of the moment.
