Vice-Admiral Mark Norman's lawyer says she wants to see a secret 60-page memo the federal government's top bureaucrat penned for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about her client's case.

Marie Henein revealed the existence of the memo from Michael Wernick, clerk of the Privy Council, in court this morning as Norman's breach-of-trust case returned for another day of pre-trial hearings.

Henein says the government is refusing to disclose the contents of that memo and two others from the Privy Council Office's top lawyer to Wernick because of solicitor-client privilege. Henein, who has accused the Liberals of interfering in Norman's case, says the documents are key to her plan to argue for why the breach-of-trust charge against her client should be thrown out.

Justice Heather Perkins-McVey will set a date in mid-April for Henein and the government to argue over whether the contents of the memos should be disclosed. Norman, who served as the military's second-in-command, was charged last year for allegedly leaking government secrets.Norman’s lawyer, Marie Henein, wants a two day hearing, potentially in April, to discuss solicitor-client privilege around at least 3 specific documents.

CTV your knees must be sore from bending down and kissing Trudeau's behind. Suppose you have 600M reasons why. How about changing your headline and include 'Heavily Censored'.

I am sure he had someone read it to him, he can’t comprehend anything with more than two syllables.

dojiggers Apparently most of it has been redacted

More spin game! Where is scottbrison - oops, no where to be found?

Here we go! Marie Henien will now kick the crap out of the Trudeau Liberals and again expose their corruption. Just watch dolts like HeatherMallick and SusanDelacourt go into overdrive trying to spin this for Trudeau!

CrustyMaclean Is there a reason that CTV doesn’t specifically state that the 60 page memo is entirely redacted?

More trouble for Sunny ways and his former clerk

Explains criminal behaviour of Trudeau and the Liberal party the last few weeks, sounds like they are coming apart at the seams

60 pages seems common with this government, when is it going to “leak”

Wernick again - not surprised.

How much was memo and how much is attachments as bibliography
