OTTAWA—Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh are calling for an ethics probe into allegations the Prime Minister’s Office pressured former attorney general Jody Wilson−Raybould to help SNC−Lavalin avoid a criminal prosecution.

Conservatives on the House of Commons justice committee, along with the New Democrats, will also force an emergency meeting to consider a motion calling on nine high−ranking government officials to testify on it, Scheer said.
