CLARIFICATION: Environment Canada employee arrested for leaked documents

News Release

OTTAWA — May 9, 2007 — Early this morning, the Ottawa RCMP arrested a male employee from Environment Canada for Breach of Trust under the Criminal Code for leaking a draft secret regulatory framework, not a secret draft legislation, as we reported in a news release this morning.
On April 17, the RCMP Commercial Crime Section received a complaint from Environment Canada’s security department that a copy of “Climate Change Section of the Eco-Action Plan” had been released publicly.
“An employee who violates the terms of their workplace security clearance, including the release of secret documents, may be subjected to legal consequences, including criminal charges,” says Supt. Stan Burke, Officer in Charge, Financial Integrity, “A” Division.
The investigation is ongoing. No further information can be provided at this time.
