I'll start with my conclusion. My conclusion, which I've written down here, says exactly that. People have always debated whether India needs Canada more or whether Canada needs India more. I'm Canadian, but I'm going to tell you that we represent less than one percent of the trade with India. They do not see us as a big trading partner, but we need to recognize India as a big trading partner. If we stand back and just lay out all the issues without finding the solutions for them, Canada will be the one to suffer, not India. India is growing at an exponential pace.
Canada needs to diversify its base from the U.S., and maybe even from China. I think India is the next explosive economy, and we have to be part of it. They need what we have, but they will find it somewhere else if we don't give it to them.
You are 100% correct. I am 100% in agreement with you on that. There's no doubt in my mind, and that is why I think this is a critical piece of legislation. We need to get this right and work on it. I'll keep on pushing. Every single time I take a large Canadian conglomerate to India, I always have tough questions to answer, but the fact is they are tough questions, and we will surely get there soon.
