OTTAWA — Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday he received an intelligence briefing about allegations that the Indian government could be behind the killing of a Sikh gurdwara leader in British Columbia.
"I can confirm what the prime minister has shared publicly: that there is clear intelligence that Canada has that lays out the following case that a Canadian citizen was killed on Canadian soil and a foreign government was involved," Singh told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons Sept. 18 about"credible allegations" that the Indian government was involved in the June death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C.
Singh said Trudeau first told him and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about the allegations against India before sharing them publicly. Three days later, Singh received a briefing from Trudeau's national security adviser, Jody Thomas. He had also recommended against calling a public inquiry into the issue. The Liberal government ended up tapping Quebec Court of Appeal Justice Marie-Josée Hogue to lead one earlier this month after months of outcry from, and discussions with, opposition parties.
Poilievre said Tuesday that he was offered a briefing similar to one B.C. Premier David Eby received on the matter. "There's going to be a next step in the investigation and a prosecution and then information will be made public in an appropriate manner. ... To do it early would jeopardize the investigation."
