I'm telling you that the Globe and Mail article is inaccurate. I said that very clearly in my statement.
I'm saying that, yes, I did receive information from the Bhullar foundation, but that article made it seem like this group was not part of a government policy. I want to make it clear that it was part of a government policy, and that the information I received was passed on. That's as I did with many other groups that called me at that time. Information was provided, and then the Canadian Armed Forces did what they could with that information.
My clear point here is that the Globe article insinuated that I gave special treatment to Sikhs because they look like me. I want to make it very clear here that it was actually government policy that I was executing. It is just a coincidence that the Minister of National Defence at that time—me—happened to look like them and share a similar religion.
