A Canadian lawmaker has apologised for appearing remotely for a parliamentary session from a toilet cubicle. Liberal MP Shafqat Ali was panned by a Conservative party lawmaker on Friday after colleagues noticed the familiar background of the building’s washroom.
“The camera was mounted on the ledge or ridge on the wall just above the back of the toilet,” a rival MP said. This is the second Liberal MP in two years to be caught in an embarrassing situation on a Zoom call.
Mr Ali, a 55-year-old former real estate dealer, was elected last year to serve for the district north-west of Toronto. The incident took place during a debate on a member’s bill in the House of Commons where several members appeared by a private video call that was only visible to their fellow MPs.
