Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer says the government would rather see the House bogged down in debate than produce documents related to misspent government dollars.

House Speaker ruled last Thursday that the government “clearly did not fully comply” with an order from the House to provide documents.

Scheer said the House will stay that way until the government agrees to hand over the documents to police.

The Liberals say the order is an abuse of Parliament ’s power that tramples on the Charter rights of Canadians .

Tory ethics critic Michael Barrett said Carney is not registered to lobby federally, but his corporate positions put him in several potential conflicts of interest.

Carney is also the chair of Brookfield Asset Management , which is in talks with the government to launch a $50-billion investment fund.

Health Minister Mark Holland accused the Conservatives of trying to “smear” Carney.
