Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
My first question is for Mr. Sirois.
Quebec is the only place in Canada where we have a chief innovator, and that is you. You and the chief scientist of Quebec, who has been in office for several years, coordinate the 2022–2027 Quebec strategy to support research and investment in innovation, a clear five-year plan with measurable outcomes.
In your opinion, does this cohesion in Quebec demonstrate that our model is already quite typical of a sovereign scientific state?
