Quebec’s independent police watchdog will investigate leaks of confidential information apparently coming from UPAC, Quebec’s anti-corruption body.
The Ministry of Public Security said today the watcgdog would probe, its words,"all leaks from UPAC investigation projects and the conduct of the Project A investigation.”
The Project A investigation is aimed at MNA Guy Ouellette, who now sits as an independent after being expelled from the Liberal caucus after the last election.
In the fall of 2017, Ouellette was arrested by UPAC, who suspected him of having shared police investigation documents.
UPAC then announced its investigation was into “possible breaches of trust and obstruction of justice.”
