Ottawa’s national security review, shutdown order ‘procedurally unfair’: Hikvision
CANADA, JUL 9 – Hikvision claims the Canadian national security review was unfair and alleges procedural errors in the shutdown order issued by the federal government on June 27, 2025.
- Hikvision, a Chinese surveillance camera maker, filed a court challenge on July 9, 2025, against the Canadian government’s shutdown order of its operations.
- The shutdown followed a national security review that Hikvision calls procedurally unfair and based on incorrect assumptions according to the company.
- Hikvision says Industry Minister Melanie Joly abruptly ended the review, failed to communicate deadlines properly, and rejected additional information the company offered.
- Joly stated the government reviewed evidence from Canada’s security and intelligence community before issuing the directive to shut down Hikvision’s Canadian business.
- While appealing the shutdown, Hikvision continues global efforts in educational technology, hosting a summit with over 400 participants to showcase AI-driven learning solutions.
