        Officer Paul Delisle is 40 years old and has been working with the Canadian military for almost a decade now. The officer works as an intelligence officer at the royal Canadian Navy's HMCS center in Halifax. He has just recently been charged with passing government secrets on to the Russians. This charge is the first ever laid Under Canada's rarely used security of information act, which was passed after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The maximum penalty for this charge is life in prison. There is no telling what and how much information The Paul Delisle passed on to the Russians. The place were Paul works gathers and analyses information for warships. The most critical problem here is that were Paul works as a nerve centre for information from Canada and the United states. Its a huge problem and this man will defiantly be serving a long time in prison.

                I really don't know why anybody who has been serving with the military for a decade would share any kind of information with another country. This man should be ashamed of what he did. The government and many other people have trusted him with top secret information for ten years. I am sure that this man will serve a long time in prison, as he should. I also feel that if there were to be any terrorist related attacks in the near future, this man would probably take most of the blame for it. I still cant understand however why he would share any information with the Russians after being so loyal to the Canadians for so long. This man got what he deserved by spending time in prison. He should be ashamed of himself and maybe our military should be more carefully about who we trust with such important information.
