00:00Have you had any conversations with President Trump about inviting Prime Minister Modi to the G7?

00:07Short answer is no

00:10On India the RCMP said just last year that the Modi government is orchestrating a campaign of violence and intimidation in Canada

00:18That includes murder. Why are you inviting him to the G7?

00:21And what message does this send about your seriousness or lack of it when it comes to stopping foreign interference the

00:27So let's put two aspects in context first is

00:34We are in the role Canada's in the role of the G7 chair

00:38and in those discussions has agreed with our G7 colleagues

00:43include important discussions on energy security on

00:47digital future

00:49critical minerals

00:51amongst others and partnerships actually in building infrastructure

00:54In the emerging and developing world. There are certain countries

00:58That should be at the table for those discussions

01:01And in my capacity as G7 chair consultation with others

01:06Some others make those determinations India the fifth largest

01:10economy in the world

01:13Effectively the most populous country in the world central to a number of those supply chains at the heart of number of those supply chains

01:19So it makes sense and in addition

01:23Bilaterally, we have now agreed importantly to continued law enforcement

01:31To law enforcement dialogue. So there's been some progress on that recognizes

01:35Issues of accountability. I extended the invitation to Prime Minister Modi

01:40For in in that context and he has accepted

01:43Do you believe Mr. Modi was involved in the killing of Hardeeb Singh Nijjar?

01:52Well, first off there is a

01:55Legal process that is literally underway

01:58And and quite advanced in Canada, and it's never appropriate to

02:02To make comments in the in in any in any respect with respect to those legal processes

02:08But with respect if you cannot say no why invite I did that I

02:12I gave

02:14With respect I gave you an answer that is appropriate to someone in my position

02:20About an ongoing legal process in which including which federal authorities are directly involved, but there is a possibility

02:29I

02:29will give you the same answer to any legal process

02:33And anyone who holds this office

02:38Past and future will give

02:41The same answer to any ongoing legal process because otherwise I'm the individual in this office will interfere

02:49What is your message then to Canadians who

02:52Are a bit disturbed or wondering why Mr. Modi is being invited to Canada

02:56When there is this legal process that has not cleared him and his governments of involvement in the death of a Canadian

03:02In on Canadian soil

03:04My message is that they're we're a country of the rule of law the rule of law is under is

03:10Proceeding as it should in Canada, and I am not going to disrupt that process last question

03:17Thank you
