Access searches for military should be broadened for other identifiers: Vance
OTTAWA — Canada’s top military officer says the Defence Department could do a better job of broadening search terms to include acronyms and other identifiers for military personnel when it receives access-to-information requests.
Gen. Jonathan Vance made the comments today while under questioning during in the pre-trial for suspended Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, who is facing a charge of breach of trust in connection with the alleged leak of cabinet secrets around a $700-million shipbuilding contract.
Norman denies any wrongdoing.
