CBSA manager told not to take notes after Meng arrest in case of access request

An evidence-gathering hearing in the extradition case of Meng Wanzhou has heard from a senior manager with the Canada Border Services Agency, who told BC's Supreme Court she was instructed not to take notes after the arrest of the Huawei executive.

Nicole Goodman testified today that she wanted to create a case summary or timeline of events, but was warned by the agency's then-regional director general that the record could later be obtained through an access to information request.

The court is hearing witness testimony that Meng's lawyers will use to bolster an abuse of process claim next year in a bid to prevent her extradition to the US.
