Thank you to the witnesses.
Mr. Sood, I would agree with you on the trips you mentioned by those in the Indian Administrative Service. Along with that, as a matter of fact, there were 17 finance ministers of different states who joined them, and no doubt Canada is a model for India.
As a matter of fact, I was talking to a couple of those ministers lately. They're working on a model similar to what we have in Canada. They're basically following it.
My question will be for both Mr. Madan and Mr. Sood.
When we talk about opportunities, definitely on the one hand India has a consumer market of 1.3 billion people, and at the same time Canada has an opportunity there—for example, I will mention the successful launch of an Indian satellite. This shows that our technology is also working in India, that it's being used.
Being a Canadian who was born in India, I know that the Indo-Canadian community supports bilateral trade between Canada and India. What role can the Indo-Canadian community play in identifying and maximizing the market opportunities that could result from this bilateral trade?
As my second question, because the chair will not give me more time, I would like you to comment on this. When I drive in India, I see all of these highways being built by foreign countries. India has an ambitious goal to improve its infrastructure. Why can't Canadian companies get the benefit of that market? What are the obstacles? How can we overcome those obstacles?
