This is going to be a big potato.
Kevin Garratt back home in Canada following release by China
Kevin Garratt, the Canadian who was detained in China in 2014 and indicted on charges of spying and stealing state secrets, is back home in Canada following his release, CBC News has learned.
Garratt's release comes just over a week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned from his first official visit to China as prime minister.
During a press conference with Trudeau in Bejiing on Aug. 31, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made reference to a Canadian citizen who had been detained in China for two years on suspicion of spying, saying he would be treated humanely and his case would be handled in accordance with the law. Li did not mention Garratt by name at that time.
Li will visit Canada next week for an official visit, and is scheduled to meet with Trudeau in Ottawa.
