Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Singh, in September 2023, the Sikh Press Association published a press release on its social networks that came from your organization, calling for more transparency from the government and more seriousness from the opposition parties. It was called “Canada's Political Parties Must Demonstrate Leadership and Unity to Confront the Threat of Indian Foreign Interference”.
I have a great deal of respect for my parliamentary colleagues, but it isn't uncommon for the majority of them use their speaking time to take jabs at the other parties, criticizing what the government is or isn't doing, what the Conservative Party should or shouldn't be doing, and so on. Even the New Democratic Party has followed suit on several occasions.
Do you think that we've learned our lesson and taken things more seriously since this press release was published?
Instead, do you think that, even if this issue is studied and a serious, independent public inquiry into foreign interference has been launched by the RCMP, politicians could show more unity and less partisanship in dealing with this problem?
