Conservatives are accusing Liberal MP Shafqat Ali of being in “contempt of the House” in response to an incident that took place on May 6 when the Liberal MP was caught participating in House proceedings from a bathroom stall.

On May 9, John Brassard, House Leader for the Conservatives, rose on a question of privilege to point out the “occurrence of misconduct.”
