Details of a 2015 cabinet meeting the RCMP suspect Vice Admiral Mark Norman leaked to a company were already known by a number of well-connected individuals in Ottawa, says a retired defence industry lobbyist.
Norman was suspended from his job as second-in-command of the Canadian military more than a year ago after the RCMP alleged he tipped off Davie shipyards that the Liberal government was going to derail a project that involved the Quebec firm converting a commercial ship into a supply vessel.
But Norbert Cyr, a retired military officer who had been a lobbyist for a defence firm as well as working for the defence industry’s top association, says he and a number of others with no connections to Norman or Davie knew the details of the cabinet meeting shortly after it happened.
