OTTAWA — A lawyer for Cameron Jay Ortis, a former RCMP intelligence official accused of leaking classified material, says Ortis was acting largely on secret information passed to him by a foreign agency.
Lawyer Mark Ertel told a jury in Ontario Superior Court on Thursday that Ortis would testify about what he did and why he did it.But Ertel cautioned that Ortis would be limited in what he could say, as he has a problem that defendants in other criminal cases do not face.
"And he's going to be forbidden from telling you what the information was or what the foreign agency was. So he's defending himself with one hand tied behind his back." The Crown alleges that Ortis anonymously sent classified material in 2015 to people who were of investigative interest to the national police force.
