Quebec Liberal Member of Parliament William Amos — representing the constituency of Pontiac in Outaouais — was caught naked on Zoom during a virtual House of Commons question period on April 14, the National Post reported. 

According to the National Post, Amos did not appear to be aware that his camera was filming him as he stood nude in an office with both the Canadian and Quebec flags behind him.

Bloc Québécois Whip Claude DeBellefeuille reportedly interrupted the Parliamentary proceedings to make Amos aware of the fact that fellow Canadian officials could see him naked. 

Amos has reportedly released a statement about his nudity since photos of the meeting began circulating on social media:

"This was an unfortunate error. My video was accidentally turned on as I was changing into my work clothes after going for a jog. I sincerely apologize to my colleagues in the House of Commons for this unintentional distraction."
