[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 128610, member: 35"] OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- 06/17/10 -- The World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) supports the Major Commission's recommendations that the government of Canada provide compensation for the families of the victims of the bombing of Air India Flight 182. It also applauds the measures for improved airport security and cooperation between CSIS and the RCMP. "We believe the families should be compensated. Ultimately, the best way to honour the victims is to ensure that a tragedy like this never happens again," said WSO President Prem Singh Vinning. Despite serious concerns over the limited involvement of the Sikh community in the Inquiry, WSO welcomes many of the Major Commission's key recommendations. In light of the disturbing findings of the Commission that this tragedy could have been prevented, WSO believes it is incumbent upon the Canadian Government apologize to the families for its failure to prevent the tragedy due to a "turf war" between the RCMP and CSIS. "An apology is needed and long overdue. There were critical and unnecessary failures in the investigation of this tragedy which have resulted in delayed justice for much too long," said Palbinder Kaur Shergill, WSO General Counsel. The WSO also applauds the recommendation that a National Security Advisor be appointed to oversee both agencies and ensure that information crucial to public safety is not withheld. The report highlights RCMP failures particularly, noting that they lost and destroyed evidence, investigated a terrorist conspiracy as if it were a pretty crime ring, and failed to share the intelligence it did gather with CSIS.
