Ontario is restricting the purchase and use of Chinese-made drones by the provincial government and police, citing security concerns.

The restriction is part of the government’s plan to protect provincial data and strengthen security across the province, and includes an immediate ban on the use of Chinese drones in highly sensitive provincial police operations, the province said on May 20.
