Ottawa

And now a word from Patrick Brazeau

Jennifer Ditchburn tallies the latest Senate attendance reports and finds Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau has missed the most days. Mr. Brazeau takes to Twitter to respond.

no wonder I didn’t mention why with the assinine reports you guys have to make. No regard for personal lives or situations.

while u smile Jen, others suffer. Change the D to a B in your last name and we’re even! Don’t mean it but needs saying.

Update 4:22pm. Mr. Brazeau continues to address Ms. Ditchburn via Twitter.

U disregarded what I told u. Didn’t insinuate anything, rather was a response due to my personal circumstance. No offence svp.

perhaps we should even take the time to sit down and chat to get facts before publishing one-sided stories. I’m open.

Update 5:17pm. And Mr. Brazeau now apologizes.

I apologize for my comments. They were done because of my personal circumstance regarding your story.

I’m a hardworker and take my position seriously but personal issues always comes 1st. Ppl are sometimes in need. Sorry!
