OTTAWA—The federal Conservatives are seeking to use the power of the House of Commons to force senior Liberal staff—or the prime minister himself—to testify before committees.

They’re introducing a motion today aimed at getting three members of the prime minister’s staff before the ethics committee to provide more information on the WE Charity affair.
