Tories called out Ottawa for failing to decide whether Huawei should be banned from participating in Canada’s 5G network, and developing a plan to combat Beijing’s growing foreign interference on Canadian soil.
Conservative Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs Michael Chong issued a statement Monday criticizing the Liberal government for not responding to a motion passed in Parliament on Nov. 18 that requires the government to “make a decision on Huawei’s involvement in Canada’s 5G network and to introduce a robust plan to counter China’s foreign interference operations here in Canada, both within 30 days.”
