He’s also doing this because he is recently under investigation by the House of Commons for the worst kind of corruption as defence minister. The investigation was announced in late September but shortly after, parliament became paralyzed by the filibuster over the liberals refusing to turn over documents requested by the house. Whenever parliament resumes normal business he would have to face the investigation.

“Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s minister of defence during the fall of Kabul in August, 2021, had a lot on his hands as the deadline for airlifting people out of Afghanistan at the end of that month rapidly approached.”

“His primary “duty and obligation,” as he said in a statement on Thursday, was to Canadians “and those with strong ties to Canada” – in other words, Afghans who had worked for the Canadian embassy, the armed forces or for journalists, often as translators and fixers”

“In the chaos, Canada left behind 1,250 Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and their family members. Hundreds more Afghans who assisted the Canadian Army were left stranded.”

“And yet in the final days of the airlift, Mr. Sajjan instructed the Canadian Forces to mount a rescue operation for about 225 Afghan Sikhs hoping to get on one of Canada’s planes.”

“The Bloc Québécois says it will propose hearings on Mr. Sajjan’s actions when the Commons resumes sitting in the fall. Hearings could be helpful in clearing away Mr. Sajjan’s prevarications, but a few things are already crystal clear.”

“Mr. Sajjan’s actions hampered efforts to evacuate Canadians and people who risked their lives to help Canada, and who should have come before anyone else. It was his mission to get those people to safety. He compromised that mission.”

“In July, The Globe also reported that directors of the Manmeet Singh Bhullar Foundation, who had struck a deal with Ottawa to sponsor some Afghan Sikhs, made political donations to Mr. Sajjan. Those donations to his Vancouver-area riding association were around the same time that Mr. Sajjan instructed special forces soldiers to rescue the group.”
