The Liberal government has banned China's Huawei Technologies from Canada's long-awaited blueprint for next-generation mobile networks.
The development of 5-G, or fifth-generation networks, will give people speedier online connections and provide vast data capacity to meet ravenous demand as innovations such as virtual reality, immersive gaming and autonomous vehicles emerge.
Critics, including the opposition Conservatives, have long pressed the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in building the country's 5G infrastructure, saying it would allow Beijing to spy on Canadians more easily.
