The interaction in the video is polite, if somewhat awkward. Vrooman tells them he's unseated Senator Frum. "I beat her in an election so I'm taking her place," he says. One guard responds "I don't think so" and laughs.
The video ends with him giving a Senate security guard his ID and the guard going inside.
Vrooman said he waited for a few minutes and then started taking some pictures, when an RCMP officer came out and told him sternly, "I wouldn't do that."
Vrooman said the officer told him he may be in legal trouble because he falsely claimed to be a senator.
"I said 'whoa, I said senator-elect!'" Vrooman told BuzzFeed Canada.
Vrooman said he explained he was a comedian taking some footage for a comedy video.
