Cameron Jay Ortis arrives to the Ottawa Courthouse in Ottawa on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023.
In a stunning moment in an already extraordinary case, the lawyer for Cameron Ortis — the former high-ranking RCMP intelligence official accused of leaking classified information to police targets — said Thursday his client was acting on secret information sent by a foreign agency.It's almost been a week since Cameron Ortis, the former high-ranking RCMP intelligence official accused of leaking classified information to police targets, began to testify in his own defence.
"Due to an unforeseen and serious technical issue at the Department of Justice, the transcripts are not yet ready for release. They are being reviewed for national security reasons and will be provided as soon as possible," said spokesperson Nathalie Houle. Last week, his defence laid out its core argument — that Ortis was acting on secret information sent by a foreign agency to protect Canada from "serious and imminent threats."
"The delay in providing the transcripts of Mr. Ortis's testimony is disappointing," Jon Doody, one of Ortis's lawyers, said Wednesday.
