Thank you for your question.
The Quantum Institute at Université de Sherbrooke is certainly part of the ecosystem, which includes more than 15 companies and over 200 jobs in quantum technology in Sherbrooke.
I think it's imperative to keep supporting that ecosystem. As I said earlier, we were fortunate to receive support through the Canada first research excellence fund. Although the funding has ended, it's what made the Quantum Institute possible.
The institutes that benefited from the funding these past 10 or so years built up capacity that we could lose. As far as I'm concerned, funding eastern Canada's four quantum research hubs is paramount in order to achieve the goal.
