DAVIE SHIPYARD TOLD TO SHUT UP ABOUT GOV'T LEAK

A Quebec shipyard accused of being on the receiving end of leaks in the criminal case involving Vice-Admiral Mark Norman was mistakenly given a series of secret cabinet documents last summer, CBC News has learned.

The Davie shipyard in Levis, Que. was instructed by the Liberal government to return the records — which related to a $610 million contract to acquire and convert three icebreakers for use by the Canadian Coast Guard — and to refrain from talking about the blunder.

Federal government and defence industry sources with knowledge of the file, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said the company complied with the request.
