Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My first question relates to an article I have read from the AVEQ, the Association des véhicules électriques du Québec. According to a Korean study the article talks about, quantum could allow electric vehicles to be charged at home in three minutes rather than ten hours, while quick charging could be reduced to nine seconds rather than 30 minutes.

I would like to put my question to Mr. Vats from the Department of Industry in particular.

Does going green, by shifting to batteries and the electrical network, have a significant place in the national quantum strategy? Is it a priority at the Department of Industry?
