The Liberal government whip says Bloc Quebecois MP Stephen Lemire should answer questions about a screenshot he took of a naked Liberal MP during virtual parliamentary proceedings last month.

Liberal whip Mark Holland is calling for Lemire to appear before a House of Commons committee.

Quebec MP William Amos has said he was changing his clothes after a jog on April 14th and did not realize his laptop camera was turned on as he was visible on an internal parliamentary feed.

Lemire has apologized for taking the screenshot, but has said he has no idea how the image was released to the media and circulated around the globe.

At a meeting today of the all-party board of internal economy, the governing body of the House of Commons, Liberal whip Mark Holland says Lemire should reveal where he sent the image and what his intent was.

Canadian Ministers Urge Citizens to ‘Buy Canadian’ as Trump Tariffs Escalate

Canada’s Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Energy Minister Tim Hodgson have urged Canadians to support domestic products and “Buy Canadian” in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

He said the greatest strength of Canadians and Canadian companies is their purchasing power. By choosing Canadian products at grocery stores,
