The things you can keep doing include investing in all of the things at the beginning of the talent pipeline. It seems that there is great work happening there, and things that can be incrementally improved on that front.
What might be something that we can start doing is thinking about the nuts and bolts of Canada's national quantum strategy. How do we define success? What does success look like there? Then, how do we make sure that we're going to be investing in the long term?
Compared to my colleagues here, I'm slightly less optimistic about the very short timelines around quantum computing, even though I'm very aligned in terms of the impact. My concern is that we can't have spikes of funding that then disappear and expect to retain people through that process. I would want to look at a 10-year program that has an understanding of how that scaling up of funding can grow with the organizations and whether we should see an acceleration of this process, to be able to understand that we would need to accelerate that funding, and also to recognize that this is something that's likely to play out over the next 100 years, even though it is just starting now and we can expect some tremendous development over the next decade.
