Dave Perry: Quentin Huang

Quentin Huang: Qing Quentin Huang, 53, was arrested Saturday and accused of plotting to send classified information on Canada's shipbuilding strategy and marine sovereignty to the Chinese. He will appear in court on Wednesday to answer to the allegations he faces, according to Huffington Post. Such information on the ship's capabilities and modest weapons systems would be of particular interest to the Chinese, which have shown a heightened curiosity about Canada's Far North and its potential resources wealth, said Dave Perry, a defence researcher at Carleton University and the Conference of Defence Associations and OTTAWA - Outside contractors with inside knowledge of sensitive and secret Canadian military information are becoming more ubiquitous in the age of leaner defence budgets and could pose an emerging security risk, a defence expert says. Employed by Lloyd's Register, Huang, who is a Canadian citizen, would have had access to intimate details of new warship designs, most notably the Conservative government's marquee Arctic Offshore Patrol Ship program.
