The federal government has made an application to exclude some evidence over national security risks at the trial of Iain Hunt, whose wife was reported missing in 2021 from their home in Port Moody, B.C.

The Attorney General of Canada says in a Federal Court application that it wants to prevent the disclosure of information during the trial, claiming it would be “injurious” to national security.
