(CNN) -
A Canadian lawmaker has apologized after he was caught urinating on camera during virtual parliamentary proceedings, just weeks after he appeared naked during a video call.
William Amos said the incident occurred on Wednesday while he was "attending House of Commons proceedings virtually in a non-public place."
Amos is a Federal Member of Parliament (MP) from Pontiac, Quebec for the ruling Liberal Party of Canada.
"I peed without realizing that I was in front of the camera," he said in a statement posted on Twitter, adding that he was "deeply embarrassed" by his actions.
Please see my statement.

"While it was accidental and not visible to the public, this was completely unacceptable, and I fully apologize," Amos said.
This is the second embarrassment before the politician's chamber in a matter of weeks.
On April 14, he was seen in a state of undress during a parliamentary video call.
A screenshot of the call circulated widely online.
Deputy Claude DeBellefeuille, from the Bloc Québécois party, pointed out the Amos episode at the time.
“We have seen a member during question period dressed incorrectly.
That is, without clothes.
So maybe I should remind members, especially male members, that suits and ties are appropriate, ”DeBellefeuille said in French, according to the parliamentary translator.
