After three years behind bars awaiting trial, Cameron Ortis, the RCMP official accused of breaching Canada's secrecy law, has been released on bail.
Justice Robert Maranger presided over the bail review and delivered his decision in Ontario Superior Court on Wednesday.
The reasons behind his decision and the evidence and testimony heard in court during the review hearing are all covered by a publication ban.
Ortis, who served as director general of the RCMP's national intelligence co-ordination centre, is charged with violating the Security of Information Act. He is accused of trying to share sensitive information with a foreign entity or terrorist organization and also has been charged with sharing operational information in 2015.
