Harper has asked the party’s governing body to investigate allegations against Adams lodged by rank-and-file members in a suburban Toronto riding, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Tuesday.

Adams is in the midst of a heated nomination battle in Oakville North-Burlington, where she is being accused of using her position as an member of Parliament to unfair advantage.

And it turns out it’s not the first time Harper’s office has been confronted with a complaint from the party’s grassroots about Adams’ behaviour.

In January, a Conservative supporter in Ottawa contacted the PMO to complain about the way she conducted herself at his place of business during an incident on a cold morning late last year.
