Sensitive equipment being purchased by Global Affairs Canada without consultation with security experts: report

Government security experts aren’t usually consulted by Global Affairs Canada when that department purchases equipment, including sensitive gear needed to protect diplomats and embassies, a procurement review has found.

The Chinese company was picked over a Canadian firm that had also bid.

Don’t avoid going to the ER because of pandemic, Canadians urged

Avoiding or postponing a trip to the ER can result in grave repercussions, CIHI said in an email to CTV News this week, pointing to data collected during the first half of 2020 and released in November.
