Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  I believe we met with the department of infrastructure to talk about transit investments between Toronto and Waterloo.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  You're describing two very specific cases that I'll dive into right after an observation. We have intensive review processes that are driven by algorithmic decision-making as well as a focus on keywords, and then also details about the account itself. For example, on a brand new account attempting to post content on flagged material, you may see that you're not able to post it publicly before it's reviewed.

Information & Ethics committee  That's my supposition as to why that happened.

Information & Ethics committee  Okay. I didn't have that information. On the cannabis example, there's a relatively fast-breaking space here, and we're trying to adjust our internal systems to differentiate between the promotion and use of cannabis in the illegal context, especially in an international arena, versus what's happening in Canada and the fact that it's now legal.

Information & Ethics committee  Hundreds.

Information & Ethics committee  I can get you a full number, but it's a continuing level of investment, both on a technological basis and a human basis, to provide the review.

Information & Ethics committee  To me, that's looking at the wrong end of the processes, because in many cases that have been identified so far, it's the data that has demonstrated bias. If you're running an algorithm against biased data or an unrepresentative sample, then you're going to get erroneous or erratic results.

Information & Ethics committee  I'll just make one observation before I answer, because you mentioned the right to be forgotten. There's an ongoing conversation around the right to be forgotten in Canada. One thing the Privacy Commissioner highlighted in his consultation document and his guidelines was that there's an inherent conflict with the charter on freedom of expression and that there needs to be a full-throated conversation in public, ideally at this committee, around how the right to be forgotten should be exercised in Canada.

Information & Ethics committee  That was not a data breach. That was bug.

Information & Ethics committee  We demonstrate through action, whether through the principles on AI or our transparency report, what our interactions are in a concrete and demonstrable way with those governments and what our intent is with products. We've moved on from a world where we had a very simple suite of products into one where we're pushing innovation and service delivery across a number of areas.

Information & Ethics committee  I think you're referring to the Google+ item that we discussed.

Information & Ethics committee  I was not aware of it when I appeared, and our evaluation determined that it was not a breach; it was a bug.

Information & Ethics committee  I can't speak for the authors of that memo.
