Thank you.

Diplomats obviously enjoy immunity, and that makes the work of the investigative team so much harder. That's why the first option was to ask India to waive the immunity of those diplomats so that they could be subject to Canadian law.

Quite honestly, we didn't expect India to agree to that. That's why we chose to include the accountability option so that India would stop orchestrating violent crimes in Canada.
