Ex-RCMP intelligence official convicted in secrets case has been granted day parole
The parole board said his risk can be safely managed and imposed curfews, device limits and reporting rules.
- The Parole Board of Canada granted day parole to former RCMP intelligence official Cameron Jay Ortis, who was convicted in November 2023 of violating the Security of Information Act.
- Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Maranger sentenced Ortis to 14 years in prison in early 2024, leaving him with seven years and 155 days remaining after credit for time in custody.
- The board concluded his "risk to reoffend can be safely managed," imposing conditions including a ban on communicating with known criminals and restrictions on internet-connected devices.
- A former colleague opposed the community release in a March letter, claiming Ortis "feels that you have never taken accountability for your offences and have failed to truly represent your intentions."
- While in custody, Ortis completed an apprenticeship for electricians and an environmental operators certification, and he plans to pursue specialized electrical work through an online technology program.
