OTTAWA—The Liberal majority on the House of Commons ethics committee have voted down a motion backed by Conservatives and New Democrats that would have seen former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould and former Treasury Board president Jane Philpott testify about SNC-Lavalin controversy.

“The coverup continues,'' Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre said after the meeting ended.
