OTTAWA — The RCMP has charged one of its own with several offences under Canada’s official-secrets law.
The national police force says Cameron Ortis was charged under three sections of the Security of Information Act, and with two Criminal Code offences.
It says the charges stem from activities alleged to have occurred during his tenure as an RCMP employee, and it was not immediately clear whether he was still employed by the force.
As the investigation is ongoing, the RCMP declined to make further comment.
