On Monday, Canada’s Conservative Party dismissed a parliamentary candidate after footage surfaced of him urinating into a homeowner’s coffee cup while on a repair call in 2012, the Toronto Star reports.

The incident was originally captured as part of a CBC hidden camera investigation of dishonest handymen, but the free-peeing repairman was only identified as a three-time Conservative candidate Jerry Bance this weekend. From CBC News:

A service technician for the last 25 years, he had been called to the home as part of a sting operation to catch and confront repairmen overcharging homeowners for simple repairs to home appliances. Hidden cameras captured the incident, which occurred while a Marketplace producer posing a homeowner was in the next room.

Bance had also run as a Conservative in 2006 and 2008. Jason Kenney, the high-profile Conservative minister and candidate from Alberta, helped him kick off his current campaign last week.

“I deeply regret my actions on that day,” Bance said in a statement. “I take great pride in my work and the footage from that day does not reflect who I am as a professional or a person.”

Just hours after dropping Bance, the Conservative Party also withdrew parliamentary candidate Tim Dutaud after a YouTube video surfaced of him making a prank call while pretending to be mentally disabled.

“What this says is that we keep the highest standard for candidates and these two individuals are no longer candidates,” said Canada’s Conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper, at a campaign stop on Monday.
