Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized... ? For what you may ask? For eating a chocolate bar during a marathon vote in Canadian Parliament.

What Actually Happened

A voting marathon was taking place in the Canadian Parliament on March 20, during which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was apparently found snacking while on the job.

Later, Conservative MP Scott Reid accused the Canadian Prime Minister of hiding a bagel under his desk, in violation of the no-food rule. To which, Trudeau responded by rising and clarifying that it was in fact, a chocolate bar that he had eaten and also apologizing for the same.

What Are the Rules

  • Food is not permitted inside Canada's House of Commons.
  • Parliamentary rules have only allowed water to be consumed by MPs during debates in the chamber.
