Thank you very much for the question, and thank you for acknowledging one of the companies in your community. I'm certain that there are others around this table who have companies that are space-related or space-adjacent in their communities or provinces.
For us, what's incredibly important is the idea that we're going to have physical assets with AI. We're going to have language-model types of AI companies. We certainly want to make the distinction that my esteemed colleague here made in his opening remarks—the important points around some of those differences. For us, what's going to be incredibly important is this committee recognizing those differences and recognizing that the accelerated rise of AI will have different challenges presented, given which fear they fall under. Of course, the opportunities will be different. I'm not a technical expert by any stretch of the imagination, but one thing I suggest to my other esteemed colleague is that consultation is going to be incredibly important.
I can't thank you enough for inviting me and all the panellists to discuss this with you. I would certainly encourage the government, through the House of Commons, committees and different departments, to continue that dialogue. I think one thing we can all recognize is that AI will exponentially change things as we move forward. It's about being in lockstep with industry, academia and researchers. We represent all of these, as an organization. It will be crucial for us to be as nimble as possible to ensure that we're reacting appropriately.
I'm happy to be here. I'll go out on a limb and say that I'm happy to continue the dialogue for many months to come.
