Members of the public who contributed to Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s defence through a GoFundMe page will receive refunds once the federal government comes through with its offer to cover the naval officer legal costs.
Norman, the former second-in-command of the Canadian Forces, was suspended from his job in January 2017 by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jon Vance after the RCMP presented Vance with allegations Norman was responsible for the leak of confidential information about the Liberal government’s plans to pause a project that would see Quebec-based Davie Shipbuilding convert a commercial ship into a refuelling vessel for the Royal Canadian Navy.
Norman has declined to discuss the final tally of his legal fees, but sources say it is well over $1 million. The fund had an initial goal of $50,000 and Hammond made the first donation, followed by contributions from some non-military friends. As Norman’s legal battle dragged on, Hammond raised the fundraising goal.
The taxpayers funded cover up for Trudeau - are Canadians stupid enough to not understand this, or just not informed...
Cover up.will he speak the truths or will he take the millions and sign a silence he takes the Trudeau money,really does not give a sht about truths,accountablility.
Another travesty - ruin a career officer’s life then pay his legal expenses as a covert way of admitting he did nothing wrong. MarkNorman

the government did not cover them. The Taxpayer did. But we are judged too stupid to be informed of the amount. What other apologies are being made this week ?
