Canada to review ‘disconcerting’ police radio deal with ties to China, says Trudeau
PM says officials signed contracts that have ‘questionable levels of security’ and could leave country exposed
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to review a contract awarded to a Beijing-linked firm to supply and maintain federal police radio equipment, citing possible security concerns.
The half-million dollar contract for a radio frequency filtering system to prevent eavesdropping went to Canada’s Sinclair Technologies, which is controlled by China’s Hytera Communications.
