OTTAWA – A Conservative Party investigation into the behaviour of Tory MP Eve Adams and her opponent in the messy nomination contest for an Ontario seat is set to recommend that both candidates be disqualified from running.

Sources said the recommendation will be made to the party’s national candidate selection committee (NCSC), which will meet this month to hear the results of the investigation into the allegations and counter-allegations in the Oakville-North Burlington nomination race.

One insider said he was not sure whether the NCSC would accept the recommendation, particularly with regard to Natalia Lishchyna.

But multiple sources said there was sufficient evidence of wrongdoing on both sides to recommend that the contest should be started over with a new slate of candidates.

The nomination meeting was to have been held on May 24, but the party suspended the contest while it investigated allegations made by both sides.
