OTTAWA—The Opposition Conservatives called on the federal ethics watchdog to widen his investigation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding his family’s ties to WE Charity, as his finance minister faces an expanded examination of his own.

Ethics commissioner Mario Dion is already investigating Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau for possible violation of the Conflict of Interest Act for not recusing themselves during cabinet discussions about the WE deal.
