Corruption? Political shenanigans?

Prosecutors allege vice-admiral, who faces breach of trust charge, disclosed classified info to shipyard execs

Lawyers defending Vice-Admiral Mark Norman have taken aim at one of the Liberal government's senior cabinet ministers in a court filing, alleging political interference in the program to deliver an interim supply ship to the navy.

The former second-in-command of the Canadian military faces one charge of breach of trust after being accused of leaking cabinet secrets to the Davie shipyard in ​Lévis, Que., which was proposing a $668 million lease arrangement with the federal government.

Treasury Board President Scott Brison will be the Crown's most important witnesses, and lawyers for Norman went to court Friday to force the government to disclose documents pertinent to his defence.

Federal procurement, esp. military, has been a complete disaster for decades and the government is either unable and/or unwilling to fix it.
