Meng's lawyers want her to be allowed to leave her Vancouver home outside the hours of her curfew without being accompanied by private security staff.

According to sources, the deal would require Meng to admit to some of the allegations in the criminal case against her, which prosecutors would then drop if Meng co-operated.

In the affidavit, a former White House lawyer highlighted U.S. President Donald Trump's comments that he was willing to use Meng as a bargaining chip in trade talks with China.

Sgt. Ross Lundie agreed under cross-examination at a B.C. Supreme Court hearing Friday that the RCMP members making the arrest in December 2018 did not ask him to be present that day.

A hearing continues Monday in the extradition case of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested at the Vancouver airport in 2018 at the request of American officials.

Sowmith Katragadda told an evidence-gathering hearing in Meng's B.C. Supreme Court extradition case he couldn't recall where the idea came from.

Meng's defence is trying to build a case for abuse of process, claiming Canadian officials gathered evidence to support an American case against her under the guise of a routine immigration exam.

China will likely convict the two Michaels, then keep them in prison until some kind of deal can be arranged, Matthew Fisher says.

``The author of the CSIS report also was aware that the arrest of Ms. Meng would be a high-profile political event, saying 'the arrest is likely to send shockwaves around the world,' '' the defence document says.

Experts say Wednesday's decision to continue the Chinese executive's fight against U.S. extradition remains amid the first few chapters of what could potentially be a long, drawn-out case.
