The Saskatchewan NDP wants the provincial government to reveal and review its dealings with a Chinese telecom that has come under renewed scrutiny from security experts since one of its executives was arrested in Vancouver last month.

SaskTel and the provincial government are not making any commitments. Officials with the Crown corporation say its security measures are bolstered by third-party testing of components manufactured by Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.

In a letter sent to Premier Scott Moe on Tuesday, a copy of which was provided to the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, NDP Leader Meili said it’s past time the provincial government took security experts’ concerns about the global technology company seriously.

In addition to asking Premier Scott Moe to reveal all of SaskTel’s dealings with Huawei and request a review by Canada’s security services, Meili’s letter also asks how much it would cost to remove any device that “poses risk” from provincial networks.
