Mark Carney calls CEPA 'game changer'
They're aiming to wrap up the CEPA soon, which could seriously boost trade and jobs for both sides.
Carney called it a "game changer" for Canadian workers and businesses, as it opens up access to India's huge market.
The talks also touched on opportunities in energy, agri-food, tech, and education.
Goyal vows CEPA final by year-end

He expects trade between the two countries to jump from $17 million now to $50 billion by 2030, so this partnership could really shake things up for both economies.
