Again, we have to recognize that there has been a very strong feeling among Indian policy-makers and politicians that we, on our side, in countries like Canada, are using environmental regulations as a means of protecting ourselves. India's approach, in talks on climate change, has reflected this rather deep-seated sense of being subject to imperialist kinds of pressures.
There is a historic sort of resistance to environmental regulation, and certainly the implementation of environmental regulations is extremely difficult. It's one thing for the central government in India to enact legislation, but whether or not that legislation is actually implemented by state governments is another question.
On the other hand, there is increasing recognition within India of the importance of environmental questions, and I think there are actually opportunities for Canadian companies that have to do with the development of clean technologies and so on to enter into, for example, joint ventures with Indian firms. I've actually had two students from my department at SFU work with a British Columbian company in Mumbai along with Indian companies on clean technology.
So I have a two-sided answer. There are opportunities, but recognize that there are severe constraints.
