I recognize that time is tight.
Investments have been made through the pan-Canadian AI strategy, particularly budget 2024 investments of $2 billion for AI infrastructure and to support commercialization and adoption. The vast majority of those are starting to crystallize or are already out. I'm happy to come back to ensure that we outline the benefits being accrued.
For instance, we've had initial investments through our AI compute access fund. We've had some deals through our AI compute challenge program. There are requests for proposals for our AI sovereign compute infrastructure program and the supercomputer that will drive AI capacity for research and as a test bed for industry. That RFP closed on June 1. We are very excited to advance that process.
Hopefully, you'll see more announcements forthcoming as we finalize the AI strategy for the country.
