Any Indian diplomats involved in criminal activity in Canada must be subjected to 'severe sanctions', NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh charged Tuesday, a day after the RCMP said it had credible evidence linking Indian agents to murder, extortion and coercion in Canada.

As the seriousness of the situation began to settle in Tuesday, Canada’s Trade Minister Mary Ng moved to reassure Canadian businesses with ties to India. In a statement Ng acknowledged the “uncertainty” that Canadian businesses and investors may have as a result as the diplomatic expulsions. She said the government will continue to support commercial and economic ties between the countries.

The House of Commons is not sitting this week, preventing an immediate debate on the matter, but NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party will be asking the House public safety committee to study “other steps we can take to keep Canadians safe.” “We are in uncharted territory, with implications for the diplomatic relationship as well as for Canada’s public safety and national security,” said Vina Nadjibulla, research vice-president for the Asia Pacific Foundation.

“In order for Canada, at this stage, to have any kind of co-operation from India and seek accountability for what has happened, we would need India to feel some pressure; we would need India to feel some reason to co-operate.”The Bloc Québécois asked Tuesday for Ottawa to “intensify collaboration with Canada’s allies in terms of intelligence and solidarity, in the face of such acts.”
