he statement goes on to say the the party is concerned Dhalla may have violated the Canada Elections Act, as well as "certain other election finance matters, non-disclosure of material facts and inaccurate financial reporting."
The official statement came after CBC News first broke the details of the vote earlier Friday afternoon.
A source, speaking on the condition they not be named, said Dhalla was also accused of failing to disclose the involvement of a non-Canadian citizen in her campaign, which the party alleges would amount to foreign interference if it happened during an election period.

"I think it speaks to the state of the Liberal Party of Canada that a candidate who is running to become leader of the party and running to be prime minister of our country is finding out she is being disqualified on air from an email that the media outlet that she is interviewing with has received."
Dhalla called the allegations against her "fabricated, fictitious and fake" meant to "complete Mark Carney's coronation" as leader.
"They did not want anyone challenging the front-runner, the blue-eyed boy, Mark Carney," she said.
