Canada’s federal government has reached a million-dollar compensation settlement with Michael Spavor, a businessman who was held by China for nearly three years amid a broader diplomatic feud between the two countries.
In November Spavor was reported to have threatened to sue both Canada and Kovrig, alleging that he had “unwittingly” provided intelligence on North Korea to Kovrig, who then shared that information with Canada and Five Eyes allies through Canada’s global security reporting program (GSRP).
