Your concerns are shared by all of us. We all have real concerns about any potential abusive uses. This is why protection is so important.
On cybersecurity, our Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree, has introduced Bill C-8 to fortify our cybersecurity system and responses. That's really important. I would urge members who are deeply concerned about cybersecurity, as we all should be, to support that piece of legislation, because it's really important.
On protecting our digital infrastructure, I will say one that concerns around cyber-attacks that could breach current systems are important. This is why we've invested in quantum technology, because, as you know, quantum computing poses a genuine potential threat.
In December, we launched our Canadian quantum champions program to keep our four phenomenal Canadian companies here in Canada, including Nord Quantique in Quebec, Photonic and Xanadu. We need to make sure Canadians own the potential to protect ourselves from cyber-attacks and have quantum-level security. That's why we launched the Canadian quantum champions program; it was for that reason.
