00:00 As of now, I can confirm that India has formally conveyed its plan to unilaterally remove diplomatic
00:08 immunities for all but 21 Canadian diplomats and dependents in Delhi by tomorrow, October
00:16 20th.
00:18 This means 41 Canadian diplomats and their 42 dependents were in danger of having immunities
00:25 stripped on an arbitrary date, and this would put their personal safety at risk.
00:33 The safety of Canadians and of our diplomats is always my top concern.
00:38 Given the implications of India's actions on the safety of our diplomats, we have facilitated
00:44 their safe departure from India.
00:47 This means that our diplomats and their families have now left.
