Canada’s consul general in New York says he was truthful in his testimony to a parliamentary committee on his role in the purchase of a luxury Manhattan penthouse, rejecting Conservative MPs’ calls for him to resign.

Tom Clark made the comments at his appearance at the House of Commons government operations committee meeting on Nov. 21. Clark had been called to testify after being accused of lying to the committee over the influence he had on the Canadian government’s decision to purchase the $9 million luxury apartment.
