I will simply add that we have to go back to the core mandate of Canadian Heritage and what that department has to do. In that sense, we really have to go back to the mission of defending and promoting Canadian culture. Canadian Heritage has to look at technology, of course, but with that core mandate as a foundation.
A coherent strategy also needs to be developed. However, there is clearly a cost deficit in the current policy because there is no plan to develop or deploy a proper cultural policy.
My colleague talked about training, the social safety net and the impoverishment of artists, among other things. Addressing these issues is much more important than, for example, using the model of industries like that of video games, which comes from digital technology, and trying to apply it to cultural industries, which have been around for much longer. That's where the mistake is, and it costs money. When we have to create a cultural policy that takes into account the dangers, problems and challenges of artificial intelligence, we will need evidence. Canada will also not be able to draw inspiration from itself to find solutions to future challenges.
That's what needs to be looked at.
