Two federal ministries are investigating potential violations of privacy laws after government officials shared details about a Postmedia news story and the journalist pursuing it, with representatives of Irving Shipbuilding. Irving Shipbuilding President Kevin McCoy then telephoned and after a brief discussion, threatened legal action against the news organization. The supply ship project is at the heart of the current legal battle involving Vice Admiral Mark Norman. In response to the call from Irving, Postmedia clarified that fact-finding inquiries were in progress. Irving Shipbuilding has made no further comment to Postmedia regarding HMCS Harry DeWolf, nor did company representatives respond to questions regarding who provided information on Postmedia’s latest inquiries.
