OTTAWA—The House of Commons ethics committee has put off to next week a decision on whether to demand records of the Trudeau family’s speaking engagements as part of a probe of how WE Charity was given responsibility for a vast federal volunteer program.

Conservatives on the committee want the documents; Liberals said the committee has no business inserting itself into an investigation the federal ethics commissioner is already conducting.
