Thank you very much.
Thank you for being with us, Mr. Harriss.
The NDP believes that free trade agreements can be used to strengthen cooperation on sustainable development between two countries, and that including a section on the environment in the final agreement is important. In fact, that is what was usually done until not so long ago. However, so far India has been against the idea of including an environmental accord in a potential free trade agreement.
Why do you think India is so reluctant? Is it because of the difficulty, and even the impossibility, of enforcing existing regulations?
