Press to jump
- 0:00Sidhu leads a Canadian business delegation to India as the countries pursue a free-trade agreement.
- 1:27Mediwake questions whether Canadian infrastructure, including LNG export projects, can support the countries' trade ambitions.
- 3:00Hyder identifies energy, potash, uranium, advanced manufacturing, life sciences and critical minerals as Canadian export opportunities.
- 5:30Hyder argues that Canada must address domestic infrastructure and export bottlenecks alongside negotiations with India.
What would it take for a Canada-India trade deal to become more than a signed agreement? On CTV Your Morning, Goldy Hyder's answer starts partly at home: Canada needs to clear the infrastructure and project-review bottlenecks that hold up exports.
The interview drew about 48,000 views in its first 13 hours, far beyond the show's usual first-day audience for a regular video. Host Anne-Marie Mediwake speaks with the Business Council of Canada president and CEO as International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu leads a large business delegation to India.
The segment, titled "Canada's Biggest Trade Mission to India in 30 Years | Your Morning", pairs diplomatic ambition with practical questions. Mediwake asks about progress on infrastructure such as liquefied natural gas export projects. Hyder argues that the countries' economies complement each other, pointing to Indian demand for Canadian energy, potash, uranium, critical minerals, advanced manufacturing and life sciences.
He also describes an ambition to double bilateral trade by the end of the decade. That is a goal, not an announced result, and the interview is a discussion of the proposed agreement rather than news of a completed deal.
Hyder's closing practical point is that negotiations abroad cannot do all the work: Canada also needs to make it easier to move what it wants to sell.
