 Our theme for Budget 2024 is fairness for every generation. To drive the kind of growth that will move the needle for Canadians, particularly for young Canadians like millennials and Gen Z, we need to make strategic investments that will create jobs, enhance productivity, and maintain our position as a world leader in technology sectors. We need to make strategic investments that will empower entrepreneurs, small businesses, and Canadian workers – the best workers in the world. That's why we're investing deliberately in AI. This morning, I met up with artificial intelligence startups who are making incredible progress with their clients. Big clients like Port de Montréal, Pomerleau, Canam, and many others who want to improve their performance even more. For example, for GEE, LIA has allowed them to create a system to be more efficient when it comes time to affect the right equipment and the right teams for the right project. For a company with the largest growth rate in Canada, it's a tool that makes all the difference. So today, I am announcing that our upcoming budget will include measures to create good jobs in our AI sector and to boost productivity by helping businesses adopt AI with an investment of $2.4 billion. Today, I am very happy to announce that our budget will include investments of $2.4 billion to create jobs in the AI sector and to help companies adopt this technology. Our measures will go into three categories – improving and enlarging our infrastructure and our computer capacity, encouraging the adoption of AI and protecting workers, and ensuring to develop AI in a responsible and secure way. I know that there is a lot of fear about AI across the world, but I also know that the values and approaches that we have here in Canada must create solutions that will come together across the world to keep AI at the service of humanity. First, to provide access to world-leading computing capabilities here in Canada, we will invest $2 billion to launch a new AI compute access fund and a new Canadian AI sovereign compute strategy. Access to computational power and capital are two of the largest barriers to developing new AI models or applications. Compute power may seem abstract, but think of it as the tools available at a construction site. Just as more advanced tools allow workers to build faster, smarter, and with greater precision, increased compute power enables AI systems to construct more sophisticated applications and solutions. Whether it's for developing a new vaccine, synchronizing a city's public transit system, or empowering you to do even more easily in your job, these investments are going to be a game-changer. This is about having the technological infrastructure we need to power our ambitions and support our AI researchers, innovators, and startups. Second, we want to help companies adopt AI in a way that will have positive impacts for everyone. To do that, we will invest $200 million through regional development agencies to boost the adoption of AI in critical sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing. $100 million in the AI assist program to help small and medium-sized enterprises scale up and increase productivity by developing and deploying new AI solutions and $50 million to provide training to workers who may be disrupted by AI. For example, to give new tools to workers in creative industries. Third, we will create the Canadian Institute of Artificial Intelligence with an investment of $50 million. We will work with experts and industry agents to ensure that technology remains secure. We will ensure that we are responsible for understanding the risks and always keep the well-being of Canadians and our workers at the centre of our concerns. This week, I talked a lot about building housing and what we can do to build more, build better, and build faster. Today, it is a bit the same thing. That is to say that our AI investments will help us build a better future, a future where we are even more efficient and productive. AI will help us build a fairer future with more jobs, more growth, and even more homes. That is what we are focused on. Fairness for every generation.
