Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the three witnesses and thank them for being here.
First, I have a comment for you, Ms. Lambert. Again, I repeat, the quantum industry is a really important industry. I hope the best for you. I think that, in the future, the committee could examine that industry in greater detail.
I had some questions for you, but my colleague Mr. Ma asked them all. I took note of your answers, and I thank you for them.
By the way, I want to point out that the Turing award was won by Mr. Gilles Brassard from the Université de Montréal, whose work focuses specifically on cryptography. We are following that closely.
Mr. McKelvey and Mr. Balsillie, my first question is about the AI act passed by the European Union in 2024. Should Canada draw inspiration from it? Can this framework lay a good foundation or would that be a mistake?
Mr. McKelvey, you may answer the question.
Mr. Balsillie, you may answer afterwards.
