After the RCMP suspended its contract with Sinclair Technologies Inc., a China-linked company whose parent firm is facing espionage-related charges in the United States, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino wouldn’t say on Jan. 30 whether the federal government will stop hiring the company in the future.
The parent company of Sinclair Technologies, Norsat International Inc., was acquired in 2017 by Chinese telecommunications firm Hytera. The Chinese Communist Party holds 10 percent of Hytera through an investment entity.
