PM Trudeau apologizes again in Parliament after elbow

TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized before the Canadian Parliament for a third time Thursday, saying he expects better behavior of himself after elbowing a female lawmaker in the chest and grabbing another lawmaker.

TV footage shows Trudeau hurriedly wading into a clutch of lawmakers who were blocking a lawmaker from getting to his seat as Trudeau's Liberals tried to get a vote in on time.

The video shows Trudeau pulling the lawmaker in order to get a vote started on limiting debate on the government's euthanasia legislation.

The kerfuffle comes as a blow to Trudeau's image as a modern, feminist leader who has talked about bringing "sunny ways" to politics and threatens to end his honeymoon after October's election.

The Speaker concluded that Brosseau's privileges as a member of Parliament had been breached, which means the encounter will be examined by an all-party committee.
