RCMP CHARGE 2ND MAN IN VICE ADMIRAL NORMAN TRIAL

   Court filings from Norman’s team in October identified the second person as Matchett, who worked at the time at the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. He later moved to Public Services and Procurement Canada.
   The filings included emails obtained by Norman’s lawyers from the RCMP that seemed to show Matchett updating Ottawa lobbyist Brian Mersereau, whose clients include Davie, as the Liberals prepared to review the shipbuilding deal.
   They also talked about Matchett dropping off documents — referred to as “the motherload” — at Mersereau’s office.
   Mersereau later told the RCMP in a witness interview in August 2016, also obtained by Norman’s lawyers, that he found a draft memorandum to cabinet and two PowerPoint presentations waiting for him when he returned to the office the next day.
