No more secret trials: Jolin-Barrette

Simon Jolin-Barrette is promising there won’t be any other secret trials, but it’s hard not to see this as sheer pique that he doesn’t know what happened and nobody wants to tell him. (Just imagine if he found out the trial was held in English!)

The La Presse journalists who first revealed the story now write that the chief federal prosecutor in Quebec did not authorize the secret trial, but that it has something to do with an RCMP informer who was accused of a crime, but who could not be openly tried without revealing their identity and endangering them.
