‘More work to do’ to ensure agents of India are not threatening Canadians: minister

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree warned in Ottawa that work remains to prevent Indian agents from coercing or intimidating people, despite a confidence from officials that activity is not ongoing.
A senior unnamed federal official said Ottawa is confident India has changed and that the activity is not continuing, adding Canada would not take the trip if interference persisted.
Historical reports note RCMP said in fall 2024 that the highest levels of India were involved in violence; Trudeau linked Indian agents to Nijjar's killing, and a 2025 inquiry called India the second-most active foreign interference country.
The minister said Canada will pursue two tracks: security channels for legal matters and economic engagement led by the prime minister, with court cases continuing as Anandasangaree emphasized security channels.
The minister's caution contrasts with past steps such as the expulsion of six Indian diplomats about a year-and-a-half ago after the RCMP deemed them 'persons of interest,' underscoring lingering bilateral strain.
