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!
