Morin admits he was paid RCMP informant in Quebec
Former Parti Quebecois minister Claude Morin disclosed to Radio-Canada that he served as a paid RCMP informant during the mid 1970s while helping monitor foreign contacts within the Quebec independence movement. Morin said payments ranged from 500 to 800 dollars per meeting, sometimes totaling up to six thousand dollars monthly per CBC reports. He noted he shared information only to learn RCMP activities, not to damage the PQ.
