In 2004, the Globe and Mail turned the tables on its former investigative reporter by running a series of articles revealing that Cameron had worked as a confidential informant for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police during its investigation of the Airbus affair. Cameron has vigorously denied the allegations which, if true, would compromise her credibility as a journalist http://www.regrettheerror.com/2004/10/stevie_cameron_.html. In his 2004 book A Secret Trial, Brian Mulroney, Stevie Cameron And The Public Trust William Kaplan outlines the evidence that demonstrates Cameron's status as a confidential RCMP informant.
