The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.
“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

Canada could simply demand the European software. And the European models.
