P.S: I didn't mean to be snarky. Any politician that educates himself to even appear smart , instead of trying come off as anti-intellectual "joe six-pack" or simply a spin master (see: Trudeau's predecessor) is progress to me.
He was talking like he was well-versed in the subject, when he had really just read some cliff notes.
He came across as an intelligent and funny politician who had made the effort to at least develop a modicum of understanding for something he's funding. Nothing more and nothing less.

The question was asked by a pool reporter from The Canadian Press (that's not a generic description, it's the name of a private news organization).

He said he was excited he had had a chance to learn more about quantum computing that morning while touring a quantum computing research institute to announce $50 million in funding for quantum computing.
How dare he display a modicum of intellectual curiosity and learn enough about the topic to explain it to a fellow layman along the way /s
This is a rather silly conspiracy theory.
Clearly it was rehearsed and staged, but like others said, I'm just impressed he made an effort to and was able to learn and regurgitate this information.
After the last Canadian PM took a hatchet to non-energy sector science funding, this and other recent trips to science centres like the McGill Neurological Institute, is about bridge building with the Canadian public.
"Fake it 'til you make it" is an individual endeavor, not a mantra that the leaders of a populace should embrace, I assume.
