Thank you for your questions.
In response to your question about farmers, I'll give you an example. FarmersEdge, a Winnipeg company, combines satellite data with data collected on the ground to provide farmers with greater precision to support their operations. This helps farmers obtain more with less, using less water and fertilizer, for instance. They are the same data Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada uses. The company is able to leverage the data to deliver greater efficiency.
As for Quebec companies, I mentioned the industrial benefits policy. We make every possible effort through each procurement process and the innovation fund to support small and medium-sized businesses in Canada.
As you may know, our headquarters are in Saint-Hubert. I should point out that 90% of our staff live in the area. That's true for me as well. I just moved from Prince Edward Island to Saint-Bruno. It's wonderful to see companies with artificial intelligence expertise directly benefiting from the work we do. We see it every day. This week, I was talking to people from a company that grew by 100%. The company is here, in Quebec, and has clients all over the world. We take great pride in that.
