    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Belley’s testimony came as the Crown continued to present its case against Cameron Ortis, a former RCMP intelligence director accused of leaking sensitive information to police targets.

    According to the agreed statement of facts in Ortis’s case, Project Saturation was meant to provide an intelligence assessment of Canadian companies and individuals linked to sales of encrypted phones, including the British Columbia-based firm Phantom Secure and its CEO Vincent Ramos.

    Belley said after Project Saturation reported on the overall “infrastructure” of companies linked to encrypted phone sales in Canada, it “went silent” and eventually “lost [its] energy.”

    “Really the genesis or the starting point for the new Project Nightspot was this disappointment that these other countries were expressing and this became a big priority in the Five Eyes,” Ertel said.

    A detailed job description for Ortis’s position as the director of the national police force’s operations research group in 2013 was entered as an exhibit in his trial.

    The unit was tasked with assembling and developing classified information on terror cells, transnational criminal networks, cybercrime actors and commercial espionage.
