OTTAWA—Erin O'Toole is refusing to name Conservative members to the national security and intelligence committee of parliamentarians.

The Conservative leader pulled his party’s MPs from the committee last spring to protest the Liberal government’s refusal to hand over unredacted documents related to the firing of two scientists from Canada’s highest security laboratory.
