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

Lawyer Marie Henein revealed the existence of Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick's memo to Trudeau on Thursday as Norman's breach-of-trust case returned for another day of pre-trial hearings.

Henein told the court that she recently received a copy of Wernick's memo to the prime minister dated Oct. 24, 2018 as part of a larger trove of documents but she said the contents were completely blacked out. It was at that point that Henein said she planned to present arguments on why the contents of that memo and others obtained from the government should be released.

That contract, negotiated by the Harper Conservatives and finalized by Trudeau's Liberals in November 2015, involved leasing a converted civilian ship from Davie Shipbuilding in Quebec as a temporary naval supply vessel. Their appearance coincided with Perkins-McVey contemplating whether to release to Norman's lawyers documents deemed by government lawyers as commercially sensitive to the two companies.

Mark Norman’s lawyers seeking access to 60-page, fully redacted memo Michael Wernick wrote to Justin TrudeauNorman’s lawyer said the government redacted the memo claiming solicitor-client privilege, prompting the judge to point out that Wernick is not a lawyer This guy was basically a lobbyist for corporate Canada. Michael Wernick is the answer to the age old of why nothing changes even when we switch governments. The inside man is always there, wispering in the ears of elected officials on behalf of corporate elitists. Ask gmbutts he know how to get documents out of PMO and PCO lickety split. Even after he resigned. Stall tactics hoping to push case out past Oct election.
