The Canadian government ordered TikTok to close its offices in Toronto and Vancouver after a foreign investment review, citing concerns tied to national security.
Francois-Philippe Champagne indicated that the decision was based on rigorous scrutiny from Canada’s national security and intelligence community, but specifics were not disclosed.
Despite the closure of TikTok's offices, Mr. Champagne clarified that the app itself is not banned for Canadian users, highlighting a discrepancy in security measures.
During a news conference, when questioned about allowing Canadians to use TikTok while citing security threats, he pointed to legal limitations surrounding his authority.
