Harper blocked the IFT sale on the recommendation of CSIS, and Trudeau (in his infinite "wisdom") reversed that decision - highlighting the token Trudeau/Butts/Telford smug self-righteous arrogance. If not IFT, if not Norsat, then when? Trade with China is unavoidable but Trudeau's aggressive deference to China looks like a short-sighted attempt to gain favour with ruling communist party officials at the expense of Canada's national security interests. If the perception of Chinese donations to the PET foundation should raise conflict of interest concerns. Trudeau is acting like a loyal vassal in appeasing China - the fact that Canada's national security experts are publicly questioning Trudeau's decision on Norsat is extremely disconcerting, especially when Trudeau blatantly lies when he says the conservatives don't trust the public service when it is Trudeau who is going against the recommendations of CSIS.
