The opposition Conservatives are pressing the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in assembling the country’s 5G infrastructure, alleging it will allow Beijing to spy on Canadians more easily
OTTAWA — The Trudeau government has long characterized it as a dispassionate policy exercise drawing on expert evidence.
The warning came a day after China’s ambassador to Canada, Cong Peiwu, dismissed the notion Huawei could compromise users’ security by installing “back-door” channels in equipment, calling it a “groundless accusation.” “In every country where we have a business presence, we’re committed to complying with the applicable laws and regulations, and Canada is no different,” Howes said. “So we will continue to be compliant, as we have been over the decade that we’ve been here, with Canadian laws and regulations.”
The government has been tight-lipped about the exercise, but the results are expected relatively soon.
