Saskatchewan Trade Minister Jeremy Harrison says Trudeau did not inform province of claims made against India’s government
Saskatchewan says it has not been contacted by Ottawa about security concerns with a key trade partner since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made allegations that India’s government played a role in the killing of a Canadian citizen.
But Harrison says provinces and territories should have been notified if that was the reason trade negotiations with India were suspended. “Does Trudeau even understand the damage he is doing to our trade relationship with India – one of our most important trading partners?” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe posted on social media last week.
Trudeau said Tuesday that he waited until he was able to raise the issue with allies and with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit before telling the public about the possible link. India’s Ministry of External Affairs said Tuesday that it rejects the accusations, arguing they are meant to distract from Sikh separatists in Canada who New Delhi argues pose a security risk.
