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.
- On June 27, 2025, the Canadian federal government ordered Hikvision to close its business in Canada due to national security concerns.
- Hikvision is contesting the federal government’s directive in court, asserting that the national security assessment was conducted improperly and relied on flawed assumptions.
- The company claims Industry Minister Mélanie Joly abruptly ended the review, did not communicate deadlines properly, and declined additional information from Hikvision.
- Joly stated in an online post that the government reviewed information and evidence provided by Canada's security and intelligence community before issuing the shutdown order.
- Hikvision's appeal suggests ongoing legal dispute and highlights tensions between national security oversight and corporate procedural fairness in Canada.
