Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair has called the relationship with India "important" despite escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations. Ottawa actively seeks deeper trade, defense, and immigration relations with India, but he said it also has the responsibility to defend its law and citizens. Blair's statement came in a Sunday interview with The West Block on Global News, which also focused on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Canada for the first time since the Russia-Ukraine crisis began.
