He was remanded into custody pending a future court appearance.
The RCMP said they won’t be able to comment further because the criminal investigation is now before the courts.
However, the RCMP said people can report suspicious activity to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805 or by email at RCMP.NSIN-RISN.GRC@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or to their local police.
