A key ArriveCan contractor accused by MPs of refusing to answer questions and of being evasive during a committee testimony now faces being called to the Bar of the House of Commons to be admonished.

“This is borne out of the $60 million of corruption, fraud and forgery,” Tory MP Michael Barrett said March 22 in describing the ArriveCan scandal before presenting his motion.
