Canadian government suspends RCMP radio contract with Chinese-owned company
Share
The federal government has suspended a $550,000 contract to supply the RCMP with radio equipment made by a Canadian company with Chinese owners after a backlash over the deal. Sinclair Technologies, the supplier, is a division of Norsat International, a Vancouver company purchased by China’s Hytera Communications Corp. in 2017. Hytera was blacklisted by the U.S. government in 2021 over national security concerns. Back then, the Trudeau government approved the sale to Hytera without a formal extended national security review, a decision that was criticized in Canada and the United States. Alexander Cohen, director of communications to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, said the suspension of the RCMP-Sinclair contract took effect Thursday. He did not say whether this is a prelude to cancelling the contract, but Ottawa would have to secure an alternative supply of radio equipment before doing so. The government has been under fire in the House of Commons over the contract, with the opposition saying it puts national security at risk and enables foreign espionage. Hytera, a company that sells two-way radios, is 10-per-cent owned by the Chinese state through a Shenzhen-based government pension fund, according to a filing the company’s lawyers made to U.S. regulators in 2021. In February, the U.S. Department of Justice brought criminal charges against Hytera, accusing it of conspiring with Motorola Solutions employees to steal the American company’s digital mobile radio technology. Sinclair told The Globe on Thursday that it’s an independent company registered and operating in Canada and its products “are trusted by public safety agencies globally for over 70 years.”
Pam Damoff, the parliamentary secretary to the Pubic Safety Minister, said the RCMP is conducting a review ”to ensure the integrity of our infrastructure is in place.”
“Given the current geopolitical dynamics, we are taking all actions to combat foreign interference,” Ms. Damoff told MPs. The House of Commons is examining Beijing-directed interference operations in Canadian domestic affairs, including democratic processes. In its recently announced Indo-Pacific strategy, the government vowed to combat foreign interference from China and said the world’s second-largest economy was an “increasingly disruptive” global power. Conservative public safety critic Raquel Dancho said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should not only suspend the contract but cancel it and order all the Sinclair radio technology be stripped out of RCMP operations. “My understanding is that they’ve actually implemented a lot of the technology already in Saskatchewan and Ontario,” Ms. Dancho said. Mr. Trudeau “has the responsibility to ensure that that’s removed, first and foremost.”
Mr. Trudeau dismissed security concerns when Hytera purchased Norsat, even after a U.S. congressional watchdog warned against the takeover of a company that supplied goods to the Pentagon. “We would not move forward with approving investments under the Investment Canada Act if we were not assured and comfortable that there is no risk to national security. Period,” Mr. Trudeau said in 2017. Michael Wessel, a member of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which reports to Congress, said “the sale of Norsat to a Chinese entity raises significant national-security concerns for the United States as the company is a supplier to our military.”
Mr. Trudeau was criticized by opposition parties for not subjecting the Norsat deal to an extended national security review. The takeover went through a routine national-security screening that all foreign takeovers of Canadian firms undergo. A more far-reaching probe would have analyzed the potential impact on Canada’s defence capabilities and investigate how the transfer of this proprietary technology outside Canada might affect this country’s interests or those of its allies. It would also consider how the transaction could enable foreign espionage or injure Canada’s foreign relationships. And it would consider the potential of the investment to hinder intelligence or law-enforcement operations. In a partly redacted indictment unsealed in Chicago this February, the U.S. government said Hytera Communications recruited Motorola employees in Malaysia to steal proprietary trade data about the radios, known as walkie-talkies. Daniel Le Bouthillier, head of media relations at the Department of National Defence, said the military is examining its past contracts with Sinclair, from before China took over Norsat. “We are aware of the concerns surrounding Sinclair Technologies,” Mr. Le Bouthillier said. “We are investigating these procurements and the way in which this equipment is used, alongside counterparts in other government departments.”

Ottawa is reviewing an RCMP contract for secure radio-communications equipment that was awarded to a subsidiary of a Chinese telecommunications company banned in the United States on national-security grounds and facing charges of espionage. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the awarding of the $549,637 contract – first reported by Radio-Canada on Wednesday – to Ontario-based Sinclair Technologies as “disconcerting.” Sinclair is building and maintaining a radio-frequency filtering system that provides secure communications for the RCMP . Sinclair Technologies is a division of Norsat International, a Vancouver-based high-tech company that was purchased by Chinese telecommunications giant Hytera Communications Corp. in 2017. The Chinese government owns about 10 per cent of Hytera, which has won numerous contracts to supply mobile and digital radio systems to Chinese police departments and local governments. Ottawa approved the sale of Norsat, which specializes in satellite communications, to Hytera without conducting a full-scale national-security review. At the time, Mr. Trudeau said the government did not compromise national security when it approved the takeover of Norsat, despite Hytera’s long-standing close ties to the ministry that oversees China’s police and security agencies. On Wednesday, however, the Prime Minister told reporters in Montreal that the government has “some real questions” to ask public servants at Procurement and Public Services Canada who approved the RCMP communications-equipment contract. “We’re going to be finding out first of all what needs to be done to ensure that our communications technology is secure, but also make sure we’re figuring out how this could continue to happen and make sure that Canada is not signing contracts with the lowest bidder that then turn around and leave us exposed to security flaws,” Mr. Trudeau said. Radio-Canada, citing sources, said that the difference between Sinclair’s bid and that of its competitor, Quebec-based Comprod, was less than $60,000. In the House of Commons, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre noted that Washington banned the sale and import of Hytera products in 2021, citing national-security concerns. Hytera is also facing 21 charges of conspiring to steal patents and trade secrets from U.S. telecommunications company Motorola. The Chinese company has denied the allegations, saying it “strictly obeys local laws and regulations.”
The Conservative Party has called for the contract to be cancelled and the equipment to be pulled out of the RCMP land-based communications systems. Part of Sinclair’s radio-frequency technology is to prevent eavesdropping. “What they have done is that they have given a contract to a company that is supposed to protect the RCMP from eavesdropping and that company is owned by another company that is charged with 21 espionage offences in the United States,” Mr. Poilievre said. “How in God’s green earth did this government think it was a good idea to give a company accused of espionage the control of our anti-espionage technology?”
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino replied that the government is “looking very, very carefully” at the way public servants screened this particular contract. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said the fact that Hytera is blacklisted in the U.S. should have sounded alarm bells inside the federal government. “I’m deeply concerned. I think that there is a real risk here, and it shows that the government did not take the appropriate steps to vet this project or the company,” he told reporters in Ottawa. RCMP Corporal Kim Chamberland said the radio-communications equipment is protected with end-to-end encryption and that Sinclair’s “radio-frequency filtration equipment poses no security concerns, nor does it allow access to radio communications.” Sinclair did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The controversy has erupted as the House of Commons is examining Beijing interference operations in Canadian domestic affairs including democratic processes. In its recently announced Indo-Pacific strategy , the government vowed to combat foreign interference from China and said the world’s second-largest economy was an “increasingly disruptive global power.”
The RCMP announced in October that they are investigating allegations that China has set up illegal police stations in Canada , where personnel have allegedly coerced Chinese nationals living abroad into returning home, or into refraining from criticizing China’s rulers. The Department of Global Affairs summoned China’s envoy in Canada over the issue. In another matter, the House unanimously voted Wednesday in favour of a motion by Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer to condemn Apple for dismantling its Airdrop feature on iPhones in China. The feature was used by Chinese protesters to avoid government censors. The motion said “this House condemns the decision by Apple and other tech giants in their complicity in the crackdown against peaceful protesters in China.”

Hytera, together with its subsidiaries Norsat, have recently released a white paper to highlight the importance of radio over satellite solutions on a global scale. Communication Challenges Faced by Industries
 
As communication requirements evolved drastically, it has become imperative to enhance connectivity between organizations, world-wide teams, and employees on the field. Radio communications play an essential role in this regard, especially in public safety, emergency rescue, firefighting, fleet operations and mining applications. Most radio networks use line of sight propagation or have fixed repeater stations. When there is no radio network signal coverage on site, command center is not able to reach the personnel on site. In this case, the use of communications satellites as a communications repeater can provide a remote cross-territory transmission route for on-site radio network communications, to achieve voice, data, image transmission; improve the capacities of emergency handling, decision making, command and control, emergency linkage, resource allocation; and ensure full-time, all-area and all-weather communications. Remote radio networks can be unified with fixed landlines, cellular systems, or Push-To-Talk (PTT) radios facilitating encrypted, real-time direct voice and data communications to headquarters, control centers or operations rooms. With the right systems engineering and technology partner, Radio Over Satellite solutions are easy to manage and deploy. They can be operated remotely and unattended after installation, making them perfect solutions for communication in uncertain environments. Careful engineering is required to ensure audio quality, latency, jitter, and bandwidth of digital radio systems over satellite. Congestion and management of remote networks can be mitigated with careful planning, QOS, SLAs, TCP acceleration and bandwidth compression. Testing has also confirmed that there is no discernable degradation in audio quality using radio over satellite systems. Thorough planning and designing of network to maximize limited bandwidth usage and link budget are required for projects involving these applications.
