Canadian firms signed deals worth almost $300M during India trade mission: Ottawa
International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu says trade talks between Canada and India advanced over the last week, as he led a major trade mission to New Delhi and Mumbai.
A statement from his office says the mission included representatives from nearly 300 Canadian businesses and exporters, and resulted in 34 commercial agreements worth almost $300 million.
It also says Sidhu met with Indian Industry Minister Piyush Goyal in both New Delhi and Mumbai to push forward trade talks, as Canada and India seek to conclude negotiations to a new Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement by the end of the year.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally launched negotiations almost a year ago on the sidelines of the G20 leaders' summit in South Africa.
Carney confirmed on Thursday Modi will visit Toronto and Ottawa on Dec. 11 and 12, just ahead of this year's G20 summit in Miami.
The Liberals have set out to double non-U.S. exports over the next decade and have also set a goal of doubling two-way trade with India to $70 billion annually by 2030.

Éloïse d'OD reçoit des dizaines de faux avis positifs sur son salon et ça fait réagir
Suite au message d'Éloïse concernant les gens qui s'en prenaient à son entreprise, les fans d'OD ont partagé des dizaines de faux avis concernant son salon de beauté, ce qui fait réagir.
Le 11 décembre, Éloïse dénonçait en story Instagram les faux commentaires négatifs qu'elle recevait sur la page Google de sa compagnie, DAVÉLO Institut beauté, depuis sa sortie d'Occupation Double.
La sélection de l'éditeur : 15 ados ont fait un party près de Québec et la police a dû intervenir
À la fin de son intervention, elle a suggéré à ses clientes habituelles d'aller partager une note plus positive. Mais certains fans ont plutôt encouragé les autres à donner des notes parfaites au salon, malgré le fait qu'ils n'y ont jamais mis les pieds.
Sur sa page Facebook, ce sont 44 commentaires positifs qui ont été ajoutés contre trois avis négatifs depuis le 11 décembre dernier.
En ce qui concerne sa page Google, les critiques ne sont plus visibles au moment d'écrire ces lignes, mais Éloïse a la note de 4,6/5, soit 92 %.
À travers les réseaux sociaux, plusieurs internautes sont divisés face aux nombreuses reviews rédigés par les fans.
Bien qu'un bon nombre de personnes croient inacceptable que de faux avis soient partagés afin de nuire à son entreprise, certains affirment que les fausses notes positives posent aussi problème.
Ils soulèvent que ce n'est pas représentatif de la qualité des services offerts au salon puisque les personnes ayant embarqué dans le mouvement ne sont pas nécessairement clients.
Quelques commentaires lui conseillent de retirer les critiques publiques, qui sont maintenant biaisées.
