"The Canadian government is working to ensure that our telecommunications infrastructure is secure in the long run. The government will prevent Huawei and ZTE equipment and services from being used in the country's telecommunications systems as part of this strategy," the announcement reads.
Champagne stated that the government reached the decision to prohibit after a thorough study by independent security agencies and consultation with Canada's closest friends.
