Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to welcome the witnesses who are joining us for the third hour of this meeting.
Mr. Bengio, it is a pleasure and a privilege to have you as a witness this evening. Allow me to highlight the contribution of your scientific expertise, and also to congratulate you on recently being named as one of the most influential researchers in the world, according to the annual list published by Stanford University in California. It is a source of pride to have you in Quebec, along with the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, Mila, that you created.
The aim of my questions is to determine how the federal government can adopt a vision that is focuses more on moonshot projects. You are an expert in artificial intelligence. Do you think that Canada's vision at present is sufficiently detailed?
As well, you said that we must not let the market dictate priorities, and I would like to hear more from you on that subject.
