For the first time in 20 years, a committee of the P.E.I. Legislature is using its power to issue a subpoena.
On Friday, members of the province's standing committee on health and social development voted unanimously to issue a subpoena to compel government to provide a report from the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission on a controversial land transfer.
