OTTAWA—The federal NDP is considering whether to appeal the latest court decision in its long-running battle over millions of dollars in parliamentary funds that MPs were deemed to have misused when the previous Conservative government was in power. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says the party is reviewing the latest court decision in its long-running battle over millions of dollars in parliamentary funds that MPs were deemed to have misused when the previous Conservative government was in power. “The NDP misused taxpayer dollars and have continued to drag out this scandal in court, costing taxpayers and the NDP more money,” Miller said. The NDP launched court challenges of the Board of Internal Economy decisions shortly after they were issued. The ruling written by Chief Justice Marc Noël overturned a lower court decision that cleared the way for the NDP challenges by finding that the court has jurisdiction to review the Board of Internal Economy’s decisions.
