Liberal MPs block Conservative push for summer hearings on B.C. vacant condo conversion plan
By
Bill Curry
Summary
Liberal MPs voted 5-4 to adjourn debate on a Conservative motion that would have required the House of Commons ethics committee to hold at least six summer hearings into a proposal to convert vacant condo units in British Columbia into affordable housing. Conservative MP Aaron Gunn pushed for the hearings to study the proposal and hear from senior federal and B.C. government officials, as well as private and municipal housing sector leaders, but the motion was shut down by Liberal committee members.
