Former Conservative ministers offered information to Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s defence team GlobePolitics

Vice-Admiral Mark Norman listens to a question during a news conference, after his court case was dismissed May 8, 2019 in Ottawa. Dave Chan For The Globe and MailTwo former senior Conservative cabinet ministers who had knowledge of the naval procurement deal at the centre of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s breach-of-trust case say they spoke with the senior naval officer’s defence team and provided information about the contract.

“I offered to testify in his defence at trial, but thankfully it will not go to that,” he said in a video on Facebook, adding that he was speaking in his capacity as former minister of defence. Vice-Adm. Norman was suspended as the military’s second-in-command on Jan. 16, 2017, and charged with breach of trust last year for allegedly leaking government secrets in an attempt to influence cabinet’s decision in a review of a $668-million contract with Quebec’s Davie shipyard for a supply vessel. He denied any wrongdoing.

“Why did the Prime Minister so clearly have his finger on the scales of justice in the Mark Norman case?” asked Mr. Strahl, borrowing words that Ms. Henein used Wednesday during her news conference.Bill Blair, Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, said Mr. Strahl should know “that all of the procedures conducted by the office of the public prosecutor and the RCMP are totally independent of the Government of Canada.
