Intervener

Chong's status in the inquiry is more substantial and separate from that of the federal Conservative party, which was granted intervener status earlier this month alongside the NDP.

Conservative natural resources critic Shannon Stubbs said the Liberals made a mistake not seeking intervener status in the case originally and they should work with U.S. officials on an appeal.
