Yeah, ordering the assassination of a foreign citizen while they're in the country of their citizenship is verging on "act of war" territory.1 I don't know what secrets Trudeau is trying to protect by not presenting evidence that the Indian government did this, but it's such a serious allegation that it's hard for me to even imagine what might be worth protecting so much that the evidence for it is not presented. (And if there really is, like, some singular Indian intelligence source that's so valuable that it isn't worth it for them to be compromised, then this should not have become public.)
If the Indian government did do this, then they poisoned relations with the West for quite possibly decades.
1That said, the Indian government's allegations against Nijjar were that he was organizing politically-motivated murders in India from a safe harbor in British Columbia. This is also something that verges on "act of war" territory -- it is a smaller version of the complaint that led the US to invade Afghanistan (in the sense that it seems like Nijjar is alleged with causing fewer casualties).
