I call this meeting back to order.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses.
We are excited. We are beginning a new study. It's pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, September 26, 2022. We're beginning the study of international moon shot programs.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking.
For interpretation for people on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor audio, English or French. For people in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
As a reminder, all comments by committee members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair.
With that, I'd like to welcome our witnesses. We're very pleased to have you here. The committee is excited to begin this new study.
Tonight, from the Mila – Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, we have Yoshua Bengio, scientific director. From X-energy Canada, we have Rosemary Yeremian. She is the vice-president of corporate strategy and business development.
We welcome all our witnesses. You will have five minutes to present. At the four and a half minute mark, I will raise this yellow card. It lets you know that you have 30 seconds left.
With that, we will begin with Mila and Dr. Bengio. The floor is yours.
