Yes, there is. Right now in Canada, we are an economy dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. Many of them do not have a large AI division or the tools and the infrastructure needed to assess the technology, to develop their own adaptations of the technologies and to move those forward to be competitive in the world. If we provide public supercomputing access to those small and medium-sized enterprises, we give them platforms on which they can develop their own solutions that allow us to be more independent of some of the international forces at play, even if right now it would seem that Canadian industry is quite far behind the anthropics of the world in terms of developing our own tools.
