00:00 I must say I was absolutely flabbergasted and shocked when I saw this news.
00:04 It was literally a bombshell thrown by Mr. Trudeau on the first day of the parliamentary
00:10 session here in Canada.
00:12 And it was absolutely something unexpected because presumably, going by what he said,
00:22 this is something that the Canadian intelligence services have been working on for some time.

01:33 session here in Canada.
01:35 And it was absolutely something unexpected, because presumably, going by what he said,
01:45 this is something that the Canadian intelligence services have been working on for some time.
01:49 And it's a very, very important issue.
01:52 And I think that's why we're in the middle of a crisis.
01:55 And I think that's why we're in a very, very difficult situation.
01:59 And I think that's why we're in a very, very difficult situation.
