I think I will leave it to my colleagues from the industry to really say this.

Maybe I should put it in a slightly different way. It would be rather surprising for us to have a quantum computer that is fault-tolerant within, roughly, the next 10 years. However, I'll leave the words to my colleagues, Drs. Yazdi and St-Jean and Mr. Janik, if they want to make some predictions. There's still a crystal ball prediction in all of this.

As we look at the progress around the world and in Canada, that would be the best guess I would make right now.
