Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to begin by thanking you all for your presentations today. They have been very interesting and useful.
I have a few questions for you. I will start with Ms. Day-Hamilton and Mr. Laforest.
I want to thank you for the work and research you are doing in quantum computing. I can say in front of my colleagues that I believe there are two or three things that will really change the future of the human race, and the first is the potential creation of quantum computing. That's tremendous. Next is nuclear fusion, with artificial intelligence in third place. Those are major projects, and I hope that we will be involved in them.
I think it is important for all Canadians with skills in those areas to pool their efforts.
That brings me to my question. You are working with the academic community and the private sector in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Are you also working with all the other entrepreneurs and scientists in Canada in order to successfully develop an operational quantum computing system?
