Canadian Government Will Use National Security Criteria When Picking Communications Infrastructure Suppliers

The Canadian government has said that it will be invoking a "national security exemption" as it hires firms to build a secure network, as the U.S. government might do. The move follows a U.S. Congress committee report concluding that Huawei and ZTE pose security risks 

The exemption allows the Canadian government to bar firms from competing for government infrastructure contracts if those companies, or in some cases their home countries, are considered security risks.
