Conservative MP Raquel Dancho says the fact that the Liberal government asked the Federal Court to set aside the government’s earlier shutdown order for TikTok as Prime Minister Mark Carney visited China recently sends “troubling signals.”

The Federal Court of Canada said on Jan. 21 that TikTok can continue its operations in Canada for now, and referred the matter back to Industry Minister Mélanie Joly for further review.
