Trudeau gov’t racked up $1.4M in legal costs on failed Mark Norman prosecution cdnpoli

Retired Vice Admiral Mark Norman arrives to court with lawyer Marie Henein in Ottawa on May 8, 2019.

Lametti did not provide any further details about the costs — including whether the figure included the cost of covering Norman’s legal fees, which the government has said it would pay.“To the extent that the information that has been requested is protected by solicitor-client privilege, the federal Crown can only reveal the total legal costs related to the case,” Lametti wrote in response to the question from Conservative MP and leadership contender Erin O’Toole.

That investigation prompted chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance to suspend Norman as the military’s second-in-command in January 2017. The popular vice-admiral was charged with breach of trust in March 2018.

If he was guilty we'd say money well spent..but he wasn't. Investigators, lawyers, etc. Still have to be paid.
