The arrest of Huawei executive Wanzhou Meng has given the Conservatives additional ammunition in pressuring the federal government to ban the Chinese telecom giant from Canada’s 5G network.

Meng, the CFO of Huawei Technologies and the owner’s daughter, was arrested in Vancouver on Dec. 1 at the behest of U.S. authorities on suspicion she violated Iran trade sanctions.
