OTTAWA — As the federal government battles TikTok in court over Ottawa’s order to close its Canadian offices, Canada’s industry minister says families should make their own decisions about whether to continue using the app.
In the interview, Champagne said companies are free to launch a"legal challenge if they want, but it won't detract me from my first job, which is to protect the national security of Canadians."Privacy and safety concerns around TikTok and its China-based parent company ByteDance Ltd. have centered around Chinese national security laws that compel organizations in the country to assist with intelligence gathering.
In May, David Vigneault, then the director of CSIS, said he personally would not recommend using the app. While Telesat said the exchange on Musk’s X platform didn’t reflect the reality of the government’s deal , Champagne accused the Conservatives of wanting to"sell out our national security." While telecom has always been a mainstay of the industry minister’s portfolio, a big part of Champagne’s focus has been on artificial intelligence — both the promise it holds for Canadian businesses and the need to put regulations in place to contain its dangers.
