The federal cabinet minister responsible for finding a replacement supply of medical isotopes after the shutdown of the Chalk River reactor will have to explain why secret documents about the nuclear industry were left at a national television bureau.
CTV reported last night that Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt or a member of her staff left a binder of sensitive material about the troubled nuclear industry with many pages marked “secret” at the network's offices in downtown Ottawa.
The binder was left almost a week ago, the network said, but no one has called to look for it.
According to the CTV report, the document reveals much about the money that has been pumped into the Chalk River and into Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., the Crown corporation that owns it.

I can't get my head around this. I handle government documents for a living. I have never lost one, left one somewhere and for sure never forgot them at the Ottawa HQ of a news orgnisation. If this was an errror, then the fact a week went by is clearly ineptitude. , If the documents were accidentally fogot on purpose to embarass the previous governement then it just shows that our new government have the maturity of teenagers.
If a public servant left secret documents in a place where reporters could gfet their grubby hands on them, they could be fired. If it was on purpose, they could be arrested.
