Cameron Jay Ortis, a former RCMP intelligence director who is accused of leaking classified information to an unspecified foreign entity, pleaded not guilty to all charges on Oct.3.
Mr. Ortis, who was the former director general of the RCMP’s National Intelligence Coordination Centre, was arrested in September 2019 for allegedly preparing to share sensitive information with a foreign entity, and allegedly sharing operational information in 2015, both of which were contrary to the Security of Information Act (SOIA) and criminal code.
