RCMP have confirmed this was not the case they were referring to.

RCMP officials at the ethics committee say one of the times spyware was used was to investigate an RCMP officer. Seems like that may have been Cameron Ortis? https://t.co/tiz6vkvzjm

Trudeau government was told of ‘potential for a breakthrough’ with protesters a day before it used Emergencies Act, cabinet documents reveal https://t.co/63QoGQkpat via @torontostar

Longtime watchdog says RCMP's use of spyware came as a surprise https://t.co/teDsyYOhbz

[Maura Forrest @MauraForrest]

MPs on the ethics committee keep referring to spyware having been used by the RCMP since 2012. The RCMP actually testified yesterday that they've been using technology to bypass encryption since 2002, not 2012.

The RCMP says it has used spyware to hack dozens of mobile devices since 2017, but it hasn't used Pegasus software.

[Maura Forrest @MauraForrest]

Since 2017, the RCMP has used spyware in 32 investigations and received warrants to target 144 devices. But only 49 devices were actually targeted.

[Maura Forrest @MauraForrest]

In documents tabled with the ethics committee regarding its use of spyware, the RCMP confirms it "has never procured or used Pegasus or any other NSO product."

[Maura Forrest @MauraForrest]

But it won't provide the specific names of the spyware tools it's using.
