Thank you very much, Dr. Pomeroy, Dr. Patry and Dr. Goel, for being generous with your time this evening and offering your expert opinions from your various perspectives.
I'll direct this first question to you, Dr. Goel, because you partly alluded to it in your previous address.
Many countries, including Canada, have recently announced strategies and significant investments in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum and genomics. What can we do to ensure that we empower institutions leading in this research so that they compete in these emerging areas?
As I said, you alluded to it before, but maybe you could expand on what else we could do. Obviously, funding is critical, but there are probably other things as well.
