Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is dismissing calls to remove Canada's ambassador to China from his post.

"Some people might see rule of law as an anchor — raise and lower as you see fit — but in Canada it's an absolute."

The arrest in Vancouver earlier this week of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou will put Canada in the "penalty box" with China for months to come.
