I think this is a great start. I think the quantum champions program was absolutely necessary.
There was both a danger and an opportunity. There was a danger of losing these four companies to the U.S.—that was a real threat. There's also the opportunity of building something great with these companies.
However, at the moment, what I can say is that we have four quantum hubs in Canada. They have been supported by federal grants. These grants have now run out, and we are at risk of losing the 10 years of ecosystem we have created if there are no further investments in the national hubs that we have in quantum.
