In its annual report to Parliament in June, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said homegrown extremists represent only a small group among Sikhs.

“CSIS highlighting it means it’s become a priority item, that the threat is serious and they want to raise awareness about it. Clearly, this stuff is going on, and they want the public to know about it”
