Canada will investigate a media report that blueprints for a new building for the military counterterrorism unit were found recently in a pile of trash, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said on Thursday.
The plans, lying in garbage bags on a busy downtown in Ottawa, were discovered by a passerby, the regional newspaper "Ottawa Citizen" reported.
The blueprints, dated March 5, 2007, appear to be for a new building for the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit, created post-Sept. 11 to respond to large-scale attacks. The building is under construction at Canadian Forces Base Trenton.
The plans detail the location of security fences, the electrical grid system and layout of offices and other rooms, said Anthony Salloum, who found the documents.
Salloum said he spotted seven or eight rolls of paper stamped with Department of Defense markings. He took home only one roll and returned to the Defense Department after learning of their importance.
It is uncertain what happened to the rest of the rolls, he told reporters.
Day pledged a probe after receiving a detailed report on the incident.
