National Defence to probe past contracts awarded to firm now tied to China
The RCMP told Global News in a statement Wednesday that radio frequency filtration equipment “poses no security concerns nor does it allow access to radio communications.” PSPC told Radio-Canada it did not take security concerns and Sinclair’s ownership into consideration during the bidding process.
The majority of the 11 RCMP contracts awarded to Sinclair over the years were for “antennas, waveguides and related equipment.” Two contracts were given for “radio and television communications equipment, except airborne.” While some RCMP contracts have no value associated with them, one contract that was awarded in 2013 and expired in 2018 was worth $1.5 million.
