MLI has been Canada’s leading voice in sounding caution when it comes to Canada-China relations, particularly following the unlawful detainment of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Moreover, MLI has continuously warned policy-makers and politicians about the risks associated with allowing Huawei to participate in Canada’s 5G infrastructure development.
With the case of Meng Wanzhou facing this significant milestone, both Canada-China relations and Canadians’ perceptions on Huawei hang in the balance.
