India revisited

[grassfarmer]

I think this article is worthy of reading in view of the happenings in India this week. What a very familiar story - frustration about trade deals not getting sorted out, talk of flying in a special Limousine from Canada for the trip, sikh extremism getting the PM in trouble - on this occasion a PC MP Nina Grewal "visiting the Vaisakhi Day parade in Surrey, bringing greetings from Harper as the floats went by, adorned with pictures of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the mastermind of the Air India bombing. The worst mass-murderer in Canadian history was being celebrated as a martyr. And Grewal never uttered a word to condemn it. The government never uttered a word to condemn her."

The parallels are uncanny.

No


Grassy,


Trudeau in India is not comparable.


My contacts in India tell me until we have new leadership there will be no trade and no more talking.


Harper didnt invite a convict to a government engagement.


He didn't insult the cabinet and government.


He didn't make the citizens of India laugh at him.


He wasn't greeted by a parliamentary secretary on arrival.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Progress for Canadian Pulses in India
February 23, 2018 (New Delhi) – Pulses were high on the agenda during bilateral discussions between
the Prime Minister of India and the Prime Minister of Canada earlier today. The two governments have
released a joint statement committing to work closely together to finalize an arrangement within 2018
to enable the export of Canadian pulses to India free from pests of quarantine importance, with
mutually acceptable technological protocols.
Chris Chivilo, President and CEO of Canadian pulse processor W.A. Grain & Pulse Solutions, participated
in the CEO panel at the Prime Minister's Round Table. Chivilo, who is also a member of the Canadian
Special Crops Association, addressed the issues of fumigation, exemption from changes to government
policy that result in increased costs for cargo en route to India and the need for predictability and
transparency in changes to government policy impacting pulses.
"The pulse industry made real progress today,” said Mr. Chivilo. “The joint statement issued after the
meeting I attended is an important milestone in pulse trade relations between Canada and India. The
Prime Ministers have recognized the importance of food security and science-based approaches to plant
protection policy. We will need to continue this collaboration and finalize solutions that will work for
both Canada and India.”
Lee Moats, Chair of Pulse Canada’s Board of Directors, was also in India attending the Canada-India
Business Council meetings, where he had an opportunity to speak to Prime Minister Trudeau.
"The industry has been working alongside the Canadian government to address the challenges of the
evolving pulse trade relationship with India,” said Mr. Moats. “It is clear to me that we can count on the
Prime Minister to be in our corner.”
The joint statement issued by the Government of Canada and the Government of India also emphasizes
the importance of ensuring access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food for all and notes that
transparency and predictability of market access conditions, including sharing of information on
production of agricultural commodities, are key to advancing the food security goals of both countries.
The full statement can be found here.
