So, Canada supplied the nuclear reactor that provided the enriched plutonium for India's first atomic bomb ,They are leaders in nuclear technology and are the biggest exporter of uranium in the world. Canada are currently suppliers of uranium to India.
I was wondering why India was giving Canada so much attention. This is a strategically important relationship.
"Nuclear industry in Canada is an active business and research sector, producing about 15% of its electricity innuclear power plants of domestic design. Canada is the world's largest exporter of uranium, and has the world's second largest proven reserves. Canada also exportsnuclear technology within the terms of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, to which it is a signatory, and is the world's largest producer of radioactive medical isotopes."

"The agreement for uranium supply, which came two years after protracted negotiations following the 2013 civil nuclear deal between India and Canada, was signed after comprehensive talks Prime Minister Narendra Modi had with his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper.
Cameco Corporation will supply 3,000 metric tonnes of uranium over five years to India at an estimated cost of $254 million and the supply will start from this year, a top official said.
Canada is the third country to supply uranium to India after Russia and Kazakhstan. "
