Citizenship Immigration: India Relationship

Manmohan Singh Dept: Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced the plan in Seoul, where they are both attending the G20 summit. In Calgary on Friday, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney told reporters it was a "historic" step, according to Calgary Herald. However, Carleton University professor Michael Hart -- a former Foreign Affairs official who specialized in trade policy and negotiations -- said the potential trade agreement is more about politics than goods being transported back and forth across the Pacific and canada will begin negotiations for a free-trade agreement with India that officials say could increase trade between the two countries by 50 per cent. "Our government has worked hard to reverse decades of neglect in the Canada-India relationship," Kenney said. "The potential implications of this agreement are almost unlimited." As reported in the news.
