I will stress that the process in question is really key, especially when we're talking about advanced talent, as I mentioned. It's a highly competitive space. Researchers are looking at offers from multiple institutions, and the ability to move at speed and be competitive in that matter is really key.
Of course, another big piece remains: research funding. The funding that's available to researchers here in Canada has helped build a really deep and a really rich innovation ecosystem. Another key element, I think, is the ability to collaborate and work with world-class researchers and to work at world-class facilities. Canada has a great record through the federal granting councils and through the Canada Foundation for Innovation of building that ecosystem. That is why new initiatives from this government, like the Impact+ program and the talent attraction strategy, are so key. Yes, it's going to attract individual star researchers, but it's also going to create that ecosystem that is going to really attract Canadians and international talent to come and to advance ideas here in Canada.
We can see, in areas like artificial intelligence and quantum, what Canada can do when it builds those really rich ecosystems, and we can see the rewards it brings to all Canadians.
