Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for being here. My first questions are for Angus Lockhart from Toronto Metropolitan University. You stated, as part of an article, that, “While some medical practices benefit from the inclusion of AI, there are serious privacy risks in feeding private medical data into a computer model that must be addressed.” I just want to confirm that this was something you wrote. Do you believe Canada's privacy laws are adequate to address these privacy issues?

Thank you. Do you believe there are security and privacy concerns that are currently barriers to the adoption of AI?

Thank you. If government were to amend privacy laws, do you believe that would help remove some of those barriers? Are there concerns that privacy laws in Canada may not be helpful to protect people's privacy?

Thank you. My next questions are for you, Professor Bessen. You contributed to a paper last year that talked about AI start-ups. Do you think AI development poses ethical and data access issues?

Do you believe new AI technologies will create issues for workers with respect to intellectual property and antitrust issues—issues around ownership of data and privacy?

Thank you. I'm sorry to interrupt you. I have only a few more moments here. If I could just add on to that, what would you recommend the Canadian government look at specifically, especially around privacy laws? What recommendations would you give?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I support that, as well. That is the will of this committee and, as my colleague said, the CEO is welcome to bring other individuals. That is the will of the committee. That is what was decided. We do have other parliamentary tools in order to have the CEO attend. Without having to utilize those, hopefully just this discussion will implore the CEO to attend, as it's the will of this committee. If not, there are other tools we can utilize. Thank you.
