The federal government will take steps to ensure that imported Chinese electrical vehicles cannot be used to spy on Canadians, a parliamentary committee heard Thursday.
Testifying before the procedures and House affairs committee, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said Ottawa will put safeguards in place to make sure that Chinese EVs do not have “the capability to transmit information” back home.
He was responding to questions from Bloc Québécois MP Christine Normandin, who raised concerns that Chinese EVs could become “little spies on the road that could record our calls and take pictures of where we are going.”
