The suspension comes amid strained relations between the two countries following last December’s arrest in Vancouver of Huawei Technologies executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. warrant.
TORONTO — China has suspended the export permits of two Canadian pork exporters, including Quebec-based Olymel LP, amid growing tensions between the two countries.
She said the current suspension is limited to two processing facilities with all other approved Canadian pork processing facilities remaining eligible to export to China. The department was formally notified Wednesday of the suspension after Customs China posted the information on its website the prior evening.Ottawa has been unable to follow up on the notification because China is in the middle of a holiday this week, said a minister’s spokeswoman. The other pork producer has yet to be identified.
“Sometimes it’s really just simple and we address it and it can take a few weeks and the problem is resolved.”
