“ However, there are more optimistic signals that an impasse on another front — export of nuclear materials and expertise — could be hammered out.
Canada and India signed a nuclear cooperation agreement two years ago (
in 2010) but implementation of the deal has been hung up over Canada’s demands to be able to verify how that uranium is used.
