Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne insists thorough national security review was carried out on Chinese company taking over Canadian lithium mining company

Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne says the pending takeover of a Canadian lithium mining company by a Chinese state-owned company was subjected to a thorough national security review – contrary to what some experts and Conservative politicians have asserted.

Under additional guidelines Champagne himself introduced, he says that review is enhanced when the transaction involves a state-owned enterprise or critical minerals – as was the case with last fall’s proposed takeover of Neo Lithium Corp. by China’s Zijin Mining Group Ltd. In the case of Neo Lithium, he says that was not necessary because the initial review found there was no potential risk.

If they did than we have some real communists in our Government and security agency.
