Conservative Statement On Arrests For The Murder Of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

Ottawa, ON - The murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar is an extremely serious crime. Any foreign interference, particularly the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil, is unacceptable.

We are glad that there have finally been arrests that will bring some justice for Mr. Nijjar’s family and community. Those responsible should face the full consequences of their crimes, and the government’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies must relentlessly pursue any other person or entity that was involved in this murder so that they can be held accountable and brought to justice.

We wish the government was able to foil this plot and stop this murder from happening in the first place, as was the case in the United States. This only further demonstrates that the government must take further action to protect our country, including by immediately implementing a foreign influence registry.

Conservatives will continue to fight any foreign interference, from any country, and put an end to any attempts by foreign governments to target our country and our people.
