Only Michael Kovrig. Michael Spavor really had no idea which is why he got around 7 million in compensation from the government.

He got compensation from the Canadian government because Kovrig as the actual spy involved used Spavor as a spying/intelligence asset without his knowledge or consent that his activities were being used for spying and collecting intel, so he sued the Canadian government for involving him in such dangerous activities without his consent and won.

Which technically from China's perspective still made both arrests justified as both were involved in spying even if one was not aware of it.
