Australia’s Loss is Canada’s Gain

Australia’s Liberal Party has serious beef with the Rudd government over the recently announced Canada-India nuclear agreement.

Canada has signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with India which will bring Canadian nuclear technology and uranium to the South Asian nation for the first time since the 1974 ban.

Although India has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), The Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG), of which Canada is a member, decided in 2008 to lift the over thirty-year moratorium on nuclear exports to India.
