If members or witnesses don't have their microphones on when they start speaking, the interpreters can't do their job. I just want us to make sure that our mike is on before we speak. That was my point of order, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses again. This is a really fascinating panel. Unfortunately, we only have a certain amount of speaking time. That said, just because we haven't been able to ask you all our questions doesn't mean we haven't listened carefully or that we're not taking your testimony and the measures you're proposing into account.
For my last turn, I will address Mr. Robertson and Mr. Brock.
Mr. Robertson, you said that mining activities require a geat deal of computational ability, but artificial intelligence requires even more. We're developing expertise in Quebec and in Canada through businesses that have that computational ability. If Bill C‑47 passes as is, it will hinder the development and future of this key business sector.
In the few minutes I have left, I'd like to hear what you have to say about this or about other factors related to your requests.
