A border officer who questioned Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou about the company's possible activity in Iran before her arrest will undergo cross-examination by her legal team today.

Superintendent Sanjit Dhillon began testifying at an evidentiary hearing in the extradition case yesterday.

He told the court that he started asking Meng questions about security concerns surrounding the company's products to help move the immigration examination along.

Meng's lawyers allege that Canadian officials unlawfully questioned Meng under the guise of a routine immigration exam but Dhillon says that's just what it was.
