Mark Norman gets House of Commons apology for impact of failed prosecution
OTTAWA — The House of Commons is apologizing to Vice-Admiral Mark Norman for what he had to endure while facing criminal breach-of-trust charges.
Conservative MP Lisa Raitt got unanimous consent for the statement of regret shortly after question period today.
Norman was second-in-command of the Canadian military when he was charged in 2018 in connection with the alleged leak of secrets to a Quebec shipyard.
The case against him collapsed a week ago when prosecutors said they’d received new information from the defence that put Norman’s actions in a new light.
