VANCOUVER – Canada’s spy agency says it has launched a workplace assessment of its British Columbia office over “serious allegations” raised by whistleblowers who say they were sexually assaulted and harassed by a senior officer.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service says the officer who was “implicated” in the allegations – raised in an investigation by The Canadian Press this week – was removed from the workplace.
More coming.
