A House of Commons committee will take a deeper look at a federal foundation financing green technologies in light of an auditor general report finding multiple conflicts of interest.

MPs on the public accounts committee voted on Sept. 3 to call additional witnesses and to ask the auditor general to undertake a performance audit of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC).
