 Thank you, Kevin, for this warm welcome. It's always a pleasure to have the chance to see you again. Thank you, Suzanne, for your welcome here at McGill. It's always a pleasure to be back at my old university. Before we start, I would like to take a moment to send our thoughts and prayers to London, where an attack took place earlier today. As always, Canadians stand with our British friends during these difficult times. Hello everyone. As you may have noticed, we are having a great visit today. I want to thank Mike Schroepfer and Jan Le Koon and the whole Facebook team for making this trip. It's always a pleasure to welcome folks to Canada, to my hometown. You will also be able to greet my colleague, Kirsty Duncan, the Minister of Science, as well as the Minister of English, and of course, Mayor Coderre. Thank you all for being here. Dear guests, it's a great pleasure to be here this morning to highlight the launch of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Facebook. It's a very good news for the city of Montreal, for Quebec, and for all Canadians. Now, I'm sure many people have told you that in the last couple of years, Montreal has become a real hub for innovation. A city that is quickly becoming not only one of the most attractive places in the world to raise a family, but also a place where entrepreneurs can turn dreams into successful businesses. Now, the people who've told you that in the recent years aren't entirely wrong, but I do want to set the record straight. This trend isn't exactly new. Generations of innovators and thinkers have built Montreal into the city it is today. A city where new ideas are welcomed, where talent thrives, and creativity flourishes. From the gaming industry to the medical field, from aerospace to entertainment, there are countless examples of leaders and thinkers who drew inspiration from this vibrant community. In many respects, creativity is the engine of our prosperity, not only in Montreal, but across Canada. So it should come as no surprise that more tech giants like Facebook are choosing our cities as their home away from home. With a strong research community and well-educated first workforce, Canada is the right place to shape the future. A future where things like artificial intelligence and deep learning help create jobs, improve our quality of life, and generate new opportunities for the middle class and those working hard to join it. And as much as AI is about the future, it's already shaping the world we live in today. From funny filters on social media to systems that can identify the most deadly forms of skin cancer, AI is already part of our lives, even if we don't realize it. That's just how broad its applications can be. For Facebook, AI is an invaluable tool to deliver on its mission to build stronger communities. Take the translation feature, for example, with the click of a button, students from Toronto to Tokyo can now connect and exchange ideas in ways that my classmates and I couldn't even have imagined 25 years ago. Similar technology can also be used to address some of the concerns we all share when it comes to the online community. I'm talking about things like a more effective detection of the PURIEL codes and filters that help make social media more secure for our children. As a father of three children who will probably become users of Facebook in the coming years, it's very important for me. Of course, the field of AI is just the beginning and this avant-garde technology is even more promising. Canada is already in charge of this field. Our scientists, our university centers and our students have been among the first to recognize the immense potential of this revolutionary science. In this room, we only count several pioneers of deep artificial intelligence or deep learning. And when giants of the industry like Facebook decide to settle in our cities, their presence shows not only the world-class talent of the people at home, but of our enormous potential for growth. In other words, it's a vote of confidence for Canada and, above all, for Canadians. And I won't hide from you that our government doesn't play back. After all, artificial intelligence brings together innovation and science, creating good jobs for the middle class and making the economy grow. But we also have a role to play as a government to see whether our workers are willing to take care of their jobs to ensure that our students are ready to seize the opportunities that will come out of these technological advances. That's why we have put the focus on the training of skills and innovation in our last budget. That's why we have decided to invest in our greatest resource, Canadians themselves. Through the country, our government makes targeted and judicial investments, investments that help Canadians of the middle class to build a better future for them and their families. We support the creation of new learning stages to allow young people to acquire experience in the middle of work. We have set up the Canadian Programme des Prés et Bourses pour étudiants to make secondary post-secondary studies more affordable, a program that is now accessible to parents who want to return to studies. These measures are all part of our ambitious but pragmatic plan to help prepare all Canadians, recent graduates, and experienced workers for the good jobs of the new economy. An economy where innovation is experienced by all of our citizens as a plus, not just talked about by some of us. An economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest 1%. That's why I know that Facebook will be such a valuable addition to the Canadian ecosystem. Because like Canada, Facebook is all about community and diversity. It's about bringing people together whether they're an ocean apart or just sitting at opposite ends of the couch. I'm not speaking from experience here, that's what I'm told some people do. It's about recognizing that we can achieve more together than we ever could on our own. And it's about finding strength in our differences. That's a vision of the world we can all believe in and get behind. So thank you for choosing Canada. We're so very proud to be a part of this exciting new chapter in Facebook's future in all of our futures. Thank you very much.
