On a tangent, Minister, budget 2024 obviously made some major investments in artificial intelligence, which is really going to define not only Canada's economy but also the world economy, going forward, for decades to come.
On another tangent, though, and you can touch upon both, Minister, in your career you worked in Europe for a number of years and then came back to Canada. I have the privilege of being the chair of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association. Tomorrow is actually Europe Day, and we'll be celebrating that this evening.
As a part of ISED's 2024-25 departmental plan, we'll be strengthening our international scientific collaboration through Horizon Europe and the European Commission's nearly 100-billion euro research innovation funding program. Canada is now a partner in that.
Minister, through your international experience and now your experience as industry minister, can you expand on the opportunities that are available for Canadian companies, Canadian researchers, in partnering through Horizon Europe and our European friends and allies?
