Mendicino, RCMP will face committee over contracts to firm now tied to China
Of the 24 contracts the company, which designs and manufactures communications equipment, has been awarded since 2009, 12 of them were awarded to the Department of Defence. Sinclair Technologies was awarded a total of $252,296 between 2009 and 2013 to work on “antennas, waveguides and related equipment,” according to procurement data.
A department official told Global News at the time that the defence contracts appeared to be mainly for antenna devices that amplify and receive but don’t transmit information. The other 12 contracts the company has been awarded since 2009 included work for the RCMP and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. A DND spokesperson told Global News last month that it is “aware of the concerns” surrounding Sinclair Technologies.
“We are investigating these procurements and the way in which this equipment is used, alongside counterparts in other government departments,” they said.
