Thank you very much.
Thank you for the opening statements from the witnesses today. I appreciate your expertise in this important study.
Mr. Myers, it's great to see you again. I appreciate your briefing. I have a number of questions for you.
You mentioned this at the end of your remarks, but I wanted to talk to you about the potential for productivity improvement in Canada with industrial AI adoption. This committee recently did a study on productivity. We understand—even from the mouths of the Governor of the Bank of Canada and the executives there—that productivity is in crisis in this country, that the stagnation of productivity really has led to increasing affordability issues and the like.
I know you're aware of this. In brief, just to elaborate a bit on your opening statement, how do you feel that AI industrial adoption could support Canada's productivity?
