LONGUEUIL - A Quebec court judge is expected to rule this morning on whether to redact some of the information to be presented at an approaching economic espionage trial.

The case involves a former Hydro-Québec employee who was charged in 2022 under Canada's Security of Information Act.

The provincial utility asked the judge to impose a publication ban on some of the information to be discussed in the trial, arguing that it could reveal commercial secrets.

The trial of Yuesheng Wang was scheduled to begin on Monday, but it was delayed due to Hydro-Québec's motion.

The arguments about the motion are subject to a publication ban and cannot be reported.

Wang has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the evidence against him has not yet been tested in court.
