OTTAWA — More than four years after Cameron Jay Ortis was charged with breaching Canada's secrets law, the former RCMP intelligence director is about to get his day in court.
Ortis, 51, is charged with violating the Security of Information Act by allegedly revealing secrets to three individuals and trying to do so in a fourth instance, as well as breach of trust and a computer-related offence. Portions of court documents filed in support of warrant applications have been unsealed, providing a glimpse into the origins of the case in 2014, when the RCMP was involved in an investigation known as Project Oryx.
A memo from Canada's cybersecurity agency, released through the Access to Information Act, said Ortis had access to material designated Top Secret Special Intelligence, or SI. He was also allowed to use the Canadian Top Secret Network, which holds a range of data including SI.
