On the last point I have to say that I've been out of Canada now for, I think it's getting on to three months, and I'm not as well in touch with news from Canada as I would like to be. I don't know what has been finally decided about the rather controversial Chinese bid to buy up one of the Canadian oil and gas companies. I recall the controversy about that in the latter part of last year.
I believe that Indian companies like Reliance and ONGC are very interested in having a piece of the action in Canada.
This is a profoundly ideological kind of question, it seems to me. I know that politicians are very strongly divided upon it. I think that if a company like Reliance can really do a good job in Canada, why not?
On the other side, Canadian investment in India, I think the big problem—and I've heard the high commissioner in Delhi talking of this quite forcefully as well.... I think there ain't no substitute for, metaphorically, wearing out shoe leather. To do business in India requires a lot of work in building personal contacts. Family is still a very powerful element in Indian business. It's still the case that some of the biggest companies are still very much family businesses. Building personal relationships—there ain't no substitute for that. That, it seems to me, is really what Canadian companies need to do—to get in there, and as I say, wear out the shoe leather.
