A way should be found to allocate funds to research and development related to quantum technologies. The current programs have their constraints, which is normal. Since these are public funds, guidelines must be set for these subsidies.
For example, funding could be allocated to an organization run by specialists, by people who already have expertise and who are able to quickly assess the files and ensure that the amounts requested will support the right initiatives.
In addition, there was discussion earlier about DARPA in the United States. Massive efforts are being made by the Americans. One of the things DARPA does is provide funding opportunities, and Canadian companies can apply. If they meet the requirements and if they get funding from DARPA, it would be interesting to have some sort of matching on the Canadian side. It would save the government and those companies time, because the project would have already been approved by a serious agency. We are small companies, and having to submit a project twice, based on criteria that are not quite the same, takes a lot of time.
