I think we definitely have thoughts when we're seeing all these things unfold, one of them being that India watches and manipulates this type of information all the time. When our elected leadership in the country is not on the same page on an issue of national security, I think it sends a very wrong message internationally.
India is able to utilize this. They have utilized it, if we can be very frank and clear. A party leader not getting security clearance has been just blown out of proportion within Indian media—basically, that this party, the Conservative Party, and Mr. Poilievre are standing up for the truth, which is Indian truth, and everyone else is a Khalistani extremist supporter. That's a horrible way of painting this entire country and all of its government and elected officials and its people, including the Sikh community, but that's what India is doing with it.
My reservation in the whole situation is that if we don't understand, as average people living in this country, why a security clearance is not being taken, I think there's a huge gap along the way as to what's happening, because we are watching others who are speaking very openly about this issue and they have that security clearance. That's where I think the confusing part comes in for average people like us. We're not understanding what's happening and why that wouldn't happen. The automatic linkage is, then, is somebody trying to protect the interests of India in this country? Whether that's the case or not, that's the perception.
