The RCMP says a former public servant who used his position at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to benefit a company he owned has been sentenced for breach of trust.

The RCMP said in a Sept. 4 release that between 2016 and 2018, Marc Primeau “inappropriately used his position” at ISED to direct the agency to make purchases totalling $231,663.48 from Access Security Logistix (ASL), “a company that he fully owned.”
