Just a couple of things pop to mind. I sort of agree with Mr. Coteau. I took a master's in civic media in Boston a couple of years ago, and one of the things we talked a lot about is that algorithms are never neutral. They're always informed by the biases of the people that write them. For example, for a Black person to get a mortgage in the United States is much more difficult than for a white person. It's kind of like young men getting car insurance in Canada. It's assumed that they're more likely to have an accident, so it's harder for them to get it and the rates go up.
Those are a result of algorithms. You type in information to get an estimate online. All of these factors are already in there. They're not gender neutral. They're not race neutral. They're not nation neutral. I think the biases of every algorithm are going to be different, but I totally think that it's legitimate for the Canadian government to study those biases and to make sure that Canadians have equal access to those platforms.
