Cameron Ortis faces six criminal charges, including four which involve allegedly breaching the Security of Information Act. He also faces a computer-related charge and an allegation of breach of trust. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.A former assistant commissioner of the RCMP testified Monday he was a “fan” of Cameron Ortis, a high-ranking civilian member now on trial over allegations of sharing secrets.
During an examination-in-chief by Crown prosecutor Judy Kliewer, Mr. Shean described Mr. Ortis as “meticulous” while he led the OR. Earlier Monday, a retired RCMP superintendent who was in charge of the national force’s undercover unit testified that Mr. Ortis was not a registered undercover operator.
At the time of his arrest, Mr. Ortis was the civilian director-general of the RCMP National Intelligence Co-ordination Centre. He is currently out on bail but faces strict restrictions, including needing to wear a device on his ankle that tracks his whereabouts.
