House ethics committee votes to question finance minister on Alto connection
- Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne will appear before the House ethics committee next month to answer questions about his connection to the Alto high-speed rail project after a lengthy Liberal filibuster.
- Champagne recused himself from decisions about the Alto project last September, after his partner became a vice-president at Alto.
- Ethics commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein told Champagne that he is not in a conflict of interest and no ethics screen is required.
- Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett questioned whether Champagne truly recused himself, citing no public disclosures on the ethics commissioner's website.
