Science and Research committee  I completely agree with that statement.

Science and Research committee  Thank you for the question, but it's obviously not an easy one to answer. I believe we need to keep attracting certain specific individuals by investing heavily in research chair programs. That said, some of these programs, like Canada Excellence Research Chairs, look really goo

Science and Research committee  We're certainly having trouble attracting the top talent. Canada had a head start in the quantum field, we were in it from the beginning. However, other countries are getting ahead of the curve. The danger is that the same thing we saw in the first quantum revolution will happen

Science and Research committee  Yes. Thank you for the question. One key aspect of the strategy is to use existing programs, particularly those of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and Alliance Missions grants, which foster collaboration between university laboratories and indus

Science and Research committee  Thank you for the question. Dr. Young talked a bit about this in one of her responses. Several issues come into play here, some of them related to intellectual property. Intellectual property agreements need to be clear. They are usually negotiated one university at a time, and

Science and Research committee  It's a good model to be followed, I just don't feel it's exactly the program we need. The Canada First Research Excellence Fund supports one institution in its mission. A moonshot program, on the other hand, should encourage several Canadian institutions to work together. The CFR

Science and Research committee  Thank you. The National Quantum Strategy, which represents a $360 million investment over seven years, was announced just a few weeks ago. It's a great first step. On the other hand, this initial strategy, if I can call it that, uses existing programs to distribute funds very e

Science and Research committee  That's an excellent question.

Science and Research committee  Will do. Thank you.

Science and Research committee  Thank you for the question. There's a lot to say here so I'll limit myself to a few ideas. First of all, student grants haven't increased for several years, so right now, students are quite frankly living below the poverty line. So that really needs to change. Getting more you

Science and Research committee  Thank you for the question. As you said, the Institut quantique de Sherbrooke enjoys significant investments, both federal and provincial. Over the past 10 years, we've developed a vision for developing an ecosystem that allows our students to take great ideas from basic researc

Science and Research committee  Yes, absolutely. It takes places that are willing to be agile, though. I can say that one of the advantages at University of Sherbrooke is that we're a small institution, but we know how to be very agile and adapt quickly to changing situations. That's what can sometimes make th

Science and Research committee  Yes. Thank you for the question. Let me switch to French to answer the question. That will be easier for me. When filing the grant application, you need to indicate how the funds will be spent in the years covered by the grant. You also need to indicate the number of students a

Science and Research committee  Good morning, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today. In my opinion, moon shot programs can help Canada play a leading role on the global stage in areas of strategic importance. Over the next few minutes, I will outline some elements that I believe ma
