OTTAWA - Canada is likely to postpone a decision on whether to allow China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd to supply 5G network equipment until after the October federal election, given increasingly strained relations with Beijing, say three well-placed sources.
China picked up the pair last December and later charged them with spying. Beijing acted after Canadian police arrested Huawei’s chief financial officer on a U.S. warrant, a move condemned by China. A postponement could irritate telecommunications companies such as BCE Inc and Telus Corp, which cannot proceed with their plans for 5G wireless networks until Ottawa comes to a decision.
“We will be taking appropriate decisions in due course,” said Goodale spokesman Scott Bardsley. Bell, Telus and Huawei did not respond to requests for comment. The question of whether Huawei’s 5G equipment could contain backdoors allowing access to spies is dividing Canada and its partners in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network.
In the meantime, Rogers Corp, Canada’s third major telecommunications company, has announced it will use 5G equipment from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson.
