Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a statement that the decision was due to ‘national security risks’

Canada on Wednesday ordered Chinese-owned TikTok’s business in the country to be dissolved, citing national-security risks, but added the government was not blocking Canadians’ access to the short-video app or their ability to create content.

Under Canadian law, the government can assess potential risks to national security from foreign investments, such as the TikTok proposal. The law prevents the government from revealing the details of such investments. TikTok did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment after regular business hours on Wednesday.
