Jackie, first, tell us about the alleged assassination. Who was killed?

Yeah. And now the Canadian government is accusing India of it being behind it.

And, I mean, that's a big deal for the leader of a G-7 country to openly accuse another government of assassinating one of its own citizens.

一个G7国家的领导人公开指控另一个政府暗杀自己的公民，这是一件大事。

I mean, what did Trudeau have to say?

Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty.

任何外国政府在加拿大领土上参与杀害加拿大公民的行为都是对我们主权的侵犯，这不能接受。
