Not long ago, we did a study on quantum computing, and a follow-up will be done soon. Please excuse my ignorance, but I would like to know if there is a connection between blockchain and anything to do with the energy needed to run potential quantum computers. We know that they consume a lot of energy, both in Quebec, where it is in the form of electricity, and elsewhere in the world. You said that, thanks to blockchain technology, a company you knew well had managed to save hundreds of millions of dollars in the oil and gas sector. I don't know how it managed to save that much money, but come on! Could there be a link between the computing speed of quantum computers and blockchain technology?

We know that Canada is quite advanced and evolved in this sector. A lot of research and development are currently being conducted in this field. Do you think it's important that we also invest in knowledge associated with blockchains in Canada?
