COMPELLING KIELBURGERS TO TESTIFY

   Conservative members of parliamentary committees scrutinizing the WE Charity scandal have warned the Kielburger brothers — the organization’s co-founders — they could be forced to testify and potentially face legal consequences if they refuse to attend.

    Lawyers for the Kielburgers, in a letter sent to the ethics committee on March 3, indicated that the brothers wouldn’t appear, even in the face of a summons.
“We have great respect for Parliamentarians and the important work of the Committee. That said, we advise, with regret, that our clients will not appear before the Committee, whether in answer to a summons or otherwise,” the letter says.

   Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre, in a Twitter post on Thursday, said: “I’ve got news for the Kielburgers: you will testify. If not, Parliament can have the Sergeant pay you a visit — and you don’t want that.”
