The review committee said Mr. Roy had a case and asked for the investigation to be reopened. The mole, however, is still working for CSIS.</p>\n<p>Would the Solicitor General agree it is astonishing, to say the least, that Mr. Roy was fired and the mole was protected, despite these troubling allegations?</p>",
