You understand the concern that has been raised at this committee meeting since the Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, AggregateIQ scandal first broke. There's a great deal of discussion about the fact that the so-called data-opolies, the massive tech companies, are mostly American and that their subsidiaries around the world are very often subject to the operating policies of these companies.
I'd come back again to your sister company, Sidewalk Labs. Jim Balsillie, who is no minor player in the rapidly evolving digital world, has called Sidewalk Labs not a smart city. He says,
It is a colonizing experiment in surveillance capitalism attempting to bulldoze important urban, civic and political issues. Of all the misguided innovation strategies Canada has launched over the past three decades, this purported smart city is not only the dumbest but also the most dangerous.
Surely you must have some corporate comments to a statement like that.
