The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist's death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.
When asked about the intelligence reports, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she couldn't comment without risking the investigation and Canada's obligations to its Five Eyes partners.
"This is not about geopolitics. This is about Canada, the safety of Canadians in Canada. This is about the rule of law," she said. But one of the most senior officials in the U.S. government confirmed that the United States has been in frequent contact with Canada on this issue.The official, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, revealed that the U.S. also has discussed the matter with the highest levels of the Indian government.
"It is something we take seriously. It is something we will keep working on. And we will do that regardless of the country," said Sullivan.
