In the medium and long term, it will depend in large part on how this problem is resolved within the Indian diaspora.
I have a great deal of sympathy for Sikhs, who are under pressure and under threat. However, it's also important to understand that another half of the Indian diaspora feels threatened to some extent. I remind you of the Air India incident in 1985, which was the largest terrorist attack in Canadian history. I would also note that two weeks ago an Air India flight landed in Iqaluit because of a threat.
Both sides feel unsafe. What can be done, then, to address the challenges of Indian interference? We need to consider a more holistic approach that doesn't favour one group at the expense of the other. It's dangerous to want to solve one problem, as sometimes that creates another problem.
So I come back to my proposal, which is, in the medium term, to calm things down within the Indian community, where there is a lot of tension and political violence at the moment. It's all well and good to say that we're going to pass legislation, but that doesn't solve the fundamental problem that angers India and prompts it to intervene in Canada. That is what we could do first.
Over the longer term, we need to better understand our legal system in line with what distinguishes us from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which, to a certain extent, allows separatism to be criminalized. In Canadian law, that is clearly not the case. The idea is to make India and the entire planet understand that it is not a crime against humanity to want to create a state called Khalistan, or to create any other independent state in other parts of the world.
