If anyone can appreciate the kind of pressure facing the Canadian prosecutors handling Meng Wanzhou's extradition hearing, it's Nick Vamos. "Or at least not a phenomenon that's been so publicly and obviously displayed in an extradition case." But if a judge commits Meng for extradition, the final decision to surrender belongs to Canada's minister of justice. That proceeding differs from an extradition case in which Canada has little choice but to act in accordance with its international treaty obligations. Vamos said he has discussed the Meng case with Canadian counterparts and has been following it with interest.
