In Ottawa, Liberal MPs block a Conservative effort to trigger an investigation by the House of Commons ethics committee into the federal government’s role in a British Columbia condo buyout plan. Multiple outlets report that the Conservatives raise the issue during proceedings on Tuesday, arguing for an ethics committee review. According to the coverage, the Liberal government joins with the B.C. government to announce a plan intended to convert unsold condominium units into affordable housing. The proposals described in the reports include governments buying up about 2,200 vacant condo units in B.C. After the Conservatives call for the ethics committee probe, Liberal MPs use their votes to shut down the debate. Global News describes that Conservative MPs ask that the probe be reconsidered through the ethics committee, but they are not successful in bringing the matter forward. The reporting is consistent across outlets that the dispute centers on whether the plan should be examined under the ethics process, and that the House does not proceed with the proposed committee investigation.
