At a news conference in Montreal, Trudeau called the news “disconcerting,” especially as government security agencies have warned public institutions to be careful about foreign interference. He says the government will consider the issue of security when procuring contracts for the government and government agencies.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says he has instructed his staff to look closely at the contact and review the process by which the contract was awarded.Neither the RCMP nor the company immediately responded to requests for comment. Radio-Canada says the RCMP expressed confidence in the security of the system and that any contractors involved needed to obtain a security clearance, while the Ontario company cited customer confidentiality in declining to answer Radio-Canada’s questions.
