Mr. Speaker, I recently had the opportunity to attend the Quantum Days conference, where researchers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders from across Canada came together to showcase the very best of Canadian innovation.
Canada is a global leader in quantum research, and that leadership matters. Quantum technologies will shape the future of secure communications, advanced computing, sensing and materials. They are critical to our economic growth, our defence industrial strategy and the protection of our national security.
By investing in Canadian talent, supporting homegrown companies and strengthening partnerships between academia, industry and government, we are ensuring that Canada develops and retains the capabilities needed to protect our data, secure our infrastructure and remain competitive.
Canada's quantum future is bright, and we will continue working to ensure that it is built here at home.
