OTTAWA – Canada’s ambassador to China told MPs Wednesday evening there is a “chill” between the two countries and it began with the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. The chill is real,” he told a special House of Commons committee studying the fraught relationship between the two countries. Barton was a managing director with the consulting company McKinsey and Co. and previously served on Trudeau’s economic advisory council. He also pointed out to reports the company held a conference within a few miles of an internment camp in China. “Whether you like China or don’t like China it is going to play a very important role and we need to build our competencies,” he said.
