The Conservatives have lost their bid to resurrect a House of Commons order demanding the release of secret documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada's highest security laboratory.
Commons Speaker Anthony Rota ruled Thursday that the order expired, along with all other business before the House, when Parliament was dissolved in August for a federal election.
Consequently, Rota said it's up to the House or a Commons committee in the new Parliament to decide whether to issue a new order for production of the documents.
