VANCOUVER—A lawyer representing Canada’s attorney general says the United States has acted honourably in the extradition case against Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.

Monika Rahman told a British Columbia Supreme Court that the United States has a “very high” standard on what evidence to give in making its case for extradition and the lack of evidence doesn’t justify a stay of proceedings.
