Canadian PM says he will accept punishment for melee
 

OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologised for a third time on Thursday for manhandling an opposition legislator and accidentally elbowing a**ther in Parliament and said he would accept any punishment meted out by a committee examining the incident.

The affair is the most serious blow yet to the image of Trudeau, who led his Liberals to power last October with a promise of “sunny ways.

“Trudeau, 44, is in ** immediate political danger since the next election is **t due until October 2019 and opinion polls put him far ahead of his rivals.

The special committee of legislators could in theory find him in contempt of Parliament, thereby potentially triggering a vote of confidence which he would easily win given the Liberals majority in Parliament.

“It was my mistake, it was unbecoming of any member of this House. I expect better from myself,” a contrite Trudeau told the legislature, saying he wanted to make amends.

“I wield full responsibility for my poor choices last night and I ask for Canadians´ understanding and forgiveness.
