OTTAWA—NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus is asking the federal ethics commissioner to consider new questions about the relationship between former finance minister Bill Morneau and WE Charity.

In a letter to commissioner Mario Dion, Angus says he thinks Morneau might have broken rules around conflict of interest and preferential treatment in allegedly green−lighting a $12−million contract for WE shortly after co−founder Craig Kielburger emailed Morneau about a youth entrepreneurship program in April.
