The prosecution in the case of former RCMP intelligence official Cameron Ortis is asking the court to hand down a severe sentence to send a message to the public and foreign partners.

Mr. Ortis was convicted by jurors in late November on three counts of breaching the Security of Information Act and on one count of attempting to do so. Each conviction can result in a maximum of 14 years of incarceration.
