One question remains unanswered. Would the government have chosen not to reveal this situation to Canadians if there hadn't been a threat of a leak? I don't suppose that you can answer that question.
You were right to point out that relations between Canada and India have had their ups and downs.
In your experience, have these relations ever hit a low point as serious as the current situation?
This reminds us of a bygone era, the Cold War, when Canadian diplomats were expelled en masse.
Can we compare the low points of relations between Canada and India with the current situation?
