We, in Canadian universities, have really woken up in a big way to those potentials within the last five years. My own university has become very active in trying to build these connections.
There remain lots of problems. We have problems with resources to actually get people here and there. In spite of the growth of the Indian economy, there is still not a lot of money for building these kinds of links on their side, but there is a terrific potential starting to be opened up. We, in Canada, are getting better as well at opening up possibilities for Indian students in Canada.
It's been very striking to me, having come to Canada seven years ago from the U.K., just how few Indian students there are. It's getting better, but given that fee levels—the cost of doing a Ph.D. in Canada—are so much lower than they are in the United States or the U.K., it's extraordinary to me that there haven't been very much larger numbers of Indian students coming to study in Canada. The situation is changing, but I think we can still do more to facilitate the movement of students.
