As I said earlier, I come from the francophone academic world. You will therefore understand that I am passionate about making sure that we can work and study in French. I do that not only through the work my colleagues do on the various funding councils, but also by adding my voice to yours and to my colleagues' when it comes to stressing the importance of promoting the role of French.
We are aware of the current global phenomenon, but I think we still have to be vigilant. We have to be capable of doing it. We have to promote our researchers who work in French. We have to make sure we are capable of attracting talent in French to our research institutes.
For example, I am thinking of Mila, an institute that has built a global reputation in the field of artificial intelligence. In fact, I have an anecdote about that. On his official visit to Canada, the German Chancellor himself chose to visit the Mila offices in Montreal, and this clearly shows the head start we have in artificial intelligence.
