Extradition
SPEAKER: Tony Paisana, Peck and Company (Vancouver)
Last December, Wanzhou Meng, CFO of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, was arrested in Vancouver after a request was made by the United States Department of Justice under the Treaty on Extradition Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America. This kicked off a series of events that have frozen the Canada-China relationship. Join us to hear from Tony Paisana, one of the counsel who acted for Ms Meng in her extradition proceedings. Tony will provide an overview of the Canadian extradition process and emerging issues of interest in this area.
