The Department of National Defence says it has safeguards in place to prevent intelligence from being shared with elements of the U.S. military that have carried out numerous lethal strikes on small boats in the Caribbean.
In a statement to CBC News, the department said that intelligence gathered during Operation Caribbe is “restricted” to the joint interagency task force running the operation and its partners, and is “caveated to not share with any elements of Operation Southern Spear.”
