Thank you.
Mr. McQueen, in your critique of budget 2024, you suggested that the $2.4 billion investment in AI was insufficient and performative. I know that there's one thing that we export out of this country really quickly, and that's our large talent pool. We develop the AI talent pool, and they go work for American companies. A lot of the people I've spoken with in the AI industry find attracting investment very difficult within Canada, especially when it comes to commercialization.
Could you elaborate on what specific aspects—scale, timing, design or delivery—fail to meet the needs of the high-growth tech in AI firms in Canada?
