That's reported with great gravity. The people who came forward pointed to specific cases, such as that of Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director who was convicted for sharing Five Eyes international enforcement plans with the very networks that this hearing should be concerned about. Mr. Ortis was convicted of sharing plans with the Sinaloa cartel, Hezbollah and Chinese money laundering-connected threat networks in Vancouver, in one case. In Toronto, Mr. Ortis was allegedly reaching out to the highest levels of Iranian-connected transnational money laundering, inclusive of Iranian-Canadian currency traders in Canada, allegedly working with Pakistani threat networks. That is one case where the sources I talked to said they were afraid that corruption had damaged, perhaps irreparably, our relations with America and others.
