Leadership committee chair scrutinized Patrick Brown’s past during vetting: source

OTTAWA — The chair of the federal Conservative party’s leadership election organizing committee privately expressed concerns around Patrick Brown’s history while vetting him as a potential candidate, according to documentation obtained by The Canadian Press.

It suggests that Ian Brodie raised questions about Brown’s financial situation in a late-March telephone call with someone he was consulting as part of the vetting process after the former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader had declared his intention to join the race.
