Prime Minister Stephen Harper started today his three day tour of India (which by the way is his first time there since being in power). Harper mainly went over to talk business and the future of the partnership between the two nations. Many critics have often stated how much Harper has missed out on the vast opportunities of doing business with India. It is one of the world's largest nation and is slowly emerging to be one of the world's largest economic influence as well. Harper said that with the 2 economies, it "is well on the way to $4 trillion. Yet at the moment we are only doing $5 billion worth of business per year. Where we are today is not where we ought to be." There are still many things that need to be discussed like foreign investment protection deal and nuclear energy agreements but for the moment Harper is enjoying his time in India. There are many links between Canada and India, whereby Canada has a substantial amount of Indian Canadians, around a Slumdog Million people.
