The Industry and Technology Committee has voted to call the ethics commissioner to testify on his report on conflict-of-interest rule violations connected with Ottawa’s now-defunct federal green fund.

“We are seeking a meeting with the ethics commissioner to discuss his findings, and we need to do that quickly because the transition is ongoing of this fund to the [National Research Council] right now,” Conservative MP Rick Perkins said at the committee meeting on July 31.
