I'll start with your last question.
Canada has attempted to negotiate free trade proposals with a number of countries. It has signed agreements with some of them, and negotiations with others are still under way.
From my perspective, the issue for Canada is not increasing the number of agreements, but seeking out quality and profitability. That's why I am among those who support finding major partners we can strengthen our relationships with. India is one of those partners.
You're right in saying that, on the whole, Asia is a leading driver of global economic growth. Of course, we could certainly do a lot more with Japan and Korea. There is one player in Asia that we should be a little more careful of: China. Given the country's political system and the way its economy works, we aren't necessarily in a position today to manage or create a win-win situation. Because of that, I think we should start out in Asia by reaching an agreement with India. That alone would be a big step forward.
You asked about the opportunities. If you look at India's economic structure, you will see that it has a very prominent service industry made up of two parts. The first is traditional services. In that area, India has endeavoured to sell its medical expertise, its health services and so forth. The second and more important part is what are called modern services: a new economy, telecommunications and especially information technology. In that respect, we can see why the president of CGI is so worried; there is competition in that sector. But in all the other sectors, I see tremendous opportunity for Canada.
In terms of India's manufacturing industry and structure, things are still at a very basic level. There are, however, segments of the manufacturing sector we aren't involved in. The automobile sector is one where we excel.
