Ex-RCMP official convicted of breaching secrets law granted day parole
A former RCMP intelligence official convicted of breaching Canada's secrets law has been granted day parole to help him prepare for his full return to society.
Former RCMP intelligence official Cameron Jay Ortis has been granted day parole after being convicted of breaching Canada's secrets law. The Parole Board of Canada approved the arrangement, which includes conditions such as a nightly curfew and participation in community-based activities during the day. Ortis, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison in early 2024 for violating the Security of Information Act, will prepare for his return to society, potentially working as an electrical worker.
His work at the RCMP involved access to top-secret documents, and he was found guilty of three counts of violating the act and one count of attempting to do so. The parole board concluded that Ortis's risk of reoffending can be safely managed.
