Scarborough M.P. Michelle Simson has taken criticism for a posting she published on Twitter wherein she made comments about another MP's weight. The posting occurred during a particularly intense finance committee meeting wherein Simson tweeted "In committee this morning. M.P. Del Mastro should grow up (not out)". M.P. Del Masto, representative of Peterborough, ON brought the posting up in the following question period stating that the posting was "demeaning, discriminatory and unbecoming of a member of Parliament". Simson promptly apologized to Del Masto.
