A consortium of media organizations that includes CBC News fought the move to keep Morris's testimony confidential, calling it an egregious restriction on open courts. The consortium lost. Other details of the secrecy measure are covered by a publication ban. "I don't think I ever saw any intelligence product produced by Mr. Ortis," he said, according to the transcript.
"But in terms of the actual development of these projects, working with the partners, going over to CSIS and going over to CSE, other partner agencies, actually developing these projects, that was rare for him to do," he said.
