" In response to “hostile actors” seeking Canadian space technology, CSIS said it had significantly increased the number of security briefings it provided to those working in the field.
“These briefings raised awareness of the increasing threats to the Canadian space sector and sought to harden the Canadian space sector against espionage and sabotage perpetrated by adversarial foreign states, including Russia and China.”
Last week, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said the federal government had ordered Chinese surveillance camera system company Hikvision to close its Canadian business and leave the country over national security concerns.
The Hogue Commission identified China as "the most active perpetrator of foreign interference targeting Canada’s democratic institutions. The PRC views Canada as a high-priority target."
China also "poses the most sophisticated and active cyber threat to Canada and CSIS assesses it as increasingly using social media and the Internet for disinformation campaigns involving elections," the Commission wrote."
