OTTAWA — The case of a Canadian man accused of trying to spy for China is once again tied up in mysterious closed-door proceedings over confidential information. Ottawa recently filed a new application in Federal Court to shield information related to Huang’s case, although, given the nature of the proceedings, it is unclear precisely what the application is about. His effort to find out more about the warrant continues after winding all the way to the Supreme Court, then back to the Federal Court for further consideration. Huang’s case grinds along amid fractured relations between Ottawa and Beijing. In a letter last year to the Supreme Court, Huang’s lawyer, Frank Addario, suggested the prolonged wrangling over document disclosure was endangering his client’s right to timely justice.
