Federal bureaucrat charged in shipbuilding-contract leak to plead not guilty: lawyer
OTTAWA — The second public official accused of leaking cabinet secrets about a $700-million naval contract intends to fight the charge, according to his lawyer.
Matchett is the second person after Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, the military’s former second-in-command, accused of leaking information about the contract between the federal government and Davie Shipbuilding in Quebec. Day told the court that he had received a “voluminous” amount of documents from the Crown that would need to be reviewed.
Day would not comment on how his client was doing, saying he would leave it to Matchett to comment himself at a future date. 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.
Mersereau later told the RCMP in a witness interview, 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.
