CTV News has confirmed that the public prosecutor intends to drop the charge of breach of trust against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman.

Norman is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday in Ottawa, where prosecutors are expected to outline their reasoning behind the dropped charge.Norman served as the second-in-command of the military until he was charged in March 2018 with breach of trust for allegedly leaking cabinet secrets in favour of Quebec-based Davie Shipbuilding in relation to a $700-million shipbuilding contract.

Last week, CTV News reported that outgoing Liberal MP Andrew Leslie was on the witness list to testify, if called, against the government.

What kind of organization are you? Why aren't you 'reporting' on what disastrous scandal this would upheaved for chew dope? Oh yeah.... liberalpropaghanda

After they caused him to go bankrupt

Charges such as these would never be dropped or stayed if credible. It’s an election year 🤷‍♀️

Hope he will sue for damages

Just read someplace else they stayed the proceedings, did not drop.

Federal government expected to withdraw breach of trust charge against Mark NormanHis lawyers have always maintained that, as they put it in a third-party records application last fall, ‘Vice-Admiral Norman is not the right person standing trial’ It is not the government. It is the Attorney General as prosecutor that is making this decision in keeping with appropriate prosecutorial principles. Clearly, the prosecution is not independent of the PMO. This government must fall.
