LIBERALS AWARDED RCMP CONTRACT TO FIRM WITH TIES TO CHINA

  On October 6, 2021, the Liberal federal government awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 for a radio frequency (RF) filtering system. One of the system's purposes is to protect the RCMP's land-based radio communications from eavesdropping.
   While Sinclair Technologies is based in Ontario, the company has been controlled by Hytera Communications of Shenzen, China since 2017, when Hytera purchased Norsat International, Sinclair's parent company.

  The Chinese government owns approximately 10 per cent of Hytera Communications through an investment fund.
