TikTok Undergoes National Security Review In Canada – Minister

Canada is conducting a national security review of Chinese-owned TikTok’s proposed expansion of the popular video app in the country.

Canada Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne disclosed this on Friday.

In a teleconference from Italy after meeting with his G7 counterparts, Champagne said the review under the Investment Canada Act had been initiated in September 2023.

“We have launched a national security review (of TikTok).

“Once we have completed that, we’ll inform Canadians about any actions that we decide to take with respect to that particular topic.

“I’ll have more to say when our review is completed,” the minister said.
