Vice-Admiral Mark Norman To Retire From Canadian Forces

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Jun, 2019 06:53 PM

OTTAWA — The Department of National Defence says Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is retiring from the Canadian Forces.

The former second-in-command of the Canadian military had been charged with breach of trust in connection with a leak of information to a navy shipbuilding contractor, but the charges were dropped earlier this year.

He had said he wanted to return to duty, a plan that was welcomed by defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance, but a statement released Wednesday says Norman has chosen to retire instead.
