That's also a very important question, because we have to build our research infrastructure.
We are building on that. In this budget, as the honourable member would know, we have $925 million over five years to build large-scale sovereign AI infrastructure on top of what we've been doing to make sure we have public and private research and innovation. We're really investing in that.
We're also establishing a sovereign public compute facility to work to make sure not only that our universities and our researchers in applied AI research have the compute power, but that we're attracting talent that wants this. One thing that is very important in that community is that researchers go to places that have access to compute, and that's one of the magnets Canada has.
They want to go to places that have top talent and leadership, like our institutes and, by the way, like the University of Waterloo; the Université de Sherbrooke, a university at the very front of the forum; McGill; U of T; the University of British Columbia; and the University of Alberta—many across this country. We make sure we're supporting that.
I will just remind you that in this last week, we invested another $42 million in what's called SciNet, which is the online forum where researchers across the country can work together—
