Qing Quentin Huang is a citizen of Canada who was accused of leaking information about new ships being built for the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard to security officials from China.[1]
He was arrested on November 30, 2013.[2] On December 15, 2021, over eight years later, Michael Dambrot ordered his charges stayed, due to the unreasonable delay. Huang had not spent those eight years in jail, awaiting trial - he was released after posting bail.

'Mr. Huang was seeking information for his criminal trial and the government claimed national security protection over that information,' Secter explained. The attorney general launched numerous appeals and raised new arguments further extending the process.”
