Ottawa cracks down on research links with foreign militaries, states like China
“That’s something that Canadians expect from us, to make sure that we take strong measures. This is a strong response to face the reality of today and making sure that research security in this country will have proper framework around it. On one end, we respect the freedom of research, but at the same time, we protect the interest and our national security.
While the news release made no mention of a specific state, a spokesperson with Champagne’s office confirmed the policy will include, but not be limited to, institutions and entities in China. “This enhanced policy will be implemented rapidly and in close consultation with our departments, Canada’s national security agencies and the research community,” the ministers said Tuesday night.
