The federal government says the RCMP has suspended a contract with an Ontario company that has links with China.

Audrey Champoux, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Minister of Public Safety said Thursday that the contract with Sinclair Technologies has been paused.Earlier Thursday, the Department of National Defence said it was taking a second look at several contracts awarded to Sinclair Technologies as part of a broader government review.

The United States Federal Communications Commission banned the use of Hytera technology for the purpose of public safety, government security and surveillance of critical infrastructure in 2021 when it was deemed a risk to national security. While the RCMP has not responded to repeated requests for comment, Radio-Canada reported that the agency expressed confidence in the security of the system and said any contractors involved needed to obtain a security clearance.

“There's no doubt that there are very legitimate concerns around the way in which the contract was awarded, which is why we're looking very carefully, very closely at it,” Mendicino said.

Better late than never!

I like the picture of a government building as they are the ones “linked to China”

Excellent.

Bunch of incompetents working at the RCMP? This only happened after they got caught.

Never trust the Chinese.

Wow. This ONLY comes into question after a Radio-Canada report? This smells of corruption at the highest levels

That’s racist

How does one not perform their due diligence before handing out contracts.

What’s the point of the five eyes then? Get Edward Snowden for exposing warcrimes? No! Get ya boy Biden and Sunak and coordinate a ban against Chinese influence in our national security.

This will make Xi and Blackface unhappy
