First of all, thank you for your question, Mr. Ste‑Marie. It's a pleasure to see you again. We haven't seen each other in quite a while.
You will have noticed in budget 2025 that we've set aside significant amounts of money to continue providing national and even global leadership in the artificial intelligence field. As you know, Canada was the first country to acquire a national strategy on artificial intelligence and quantum technology.
It's true that Scale AI in Montreal is one of the organizations that played a key role in that. As I told you, funds have been provided in the budget, and the minister responsible will determine how much of those funds will be allocated to the operational sector when the time comes.
I think we should be proud of the advances we've made in the field of artificial intelligence in Canada, particularly in Montreal.
