Canada’s consul-general to New York Tom Clark has been called to appear before a House committee to testify about the government’s $9 million purchase of his official residence.

Clark was set to testify at the Aug. 27 meeting but opted not to appear, saying he was on leave, according to Conservative MP Michael Barrett.
