Bloc Québécois MPs are calling on the federal government to open an investigation into an attempted rescue mission of Afghan Sikhs that was launched at the request of then-Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan during the 2021 fall of Kabul.
“As the situation was critical in August 2021 ... the thought the minister of Defence would have wilfully decided to abandon Canadians or Afghans having helped Canada to prioritize other religious or ethnic groups is revolting,” wrote Bloc MPs Christine Normandin and Stéphane Bergeron in a June 28 letter.
