Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
As you mentioned, the people-to-people ties between India and Canada are very important. We have a lot of Canadians of Indian heritage who still have important ties to India, and our relationship is critically important.
It was mentioned in November 2023 by India's high commissioner to Canada, High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, that there have been a lot of conversations between India and Canada and that there's been a lot of dialogue. He says, “I feel that most of it is very constructive.”
How would you characterize the tone of things today, given what has transpired in the last months?
