Canadian PM missed G20 family photo

G20 leaders pose for group picture – but why was Stephen Harper missing?

When the G20 leaders posed for their "family photograph" today, one face was missing – Stephen Harper, the Canadian PM. According to the Press Association news agency, rumors were circulating around the ExCel centre in east London that Harper had "chosen an inopportune moment for a 'bathroom break.'" He was greeted on his return by a jovial Barack Obama, who appeared to find the Canadian leader's absence quite amusing.
