Canadian security move fans fears of Huawei exclusion
China's Huawei has always denied it has military links and engages in espionage
Huawei is one of the world's biggest manufacturers of telecom networking equipment and operates in almost 150 countries.
It has spent the early part of this week reacting to the US claims and allegations, trying to limit the report's impact on its global business operations.
Scott Bradley, a spokesman for Huawei Technologies Canada Co Ltd, said the Canadian government's latest move was unlikely to cause it problems.
"The national security exception only applies to foreign companies," he was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
"Huawei is fully incorporated in Canada, and operates as a subsidiary Canadian company. This alone effectively enables us to bid on any potential procurement opportunities."
