We'll get right into it tonight. It's a bit more of an informal presentation from our guests tonight, so we won't be asking questions. This is just setting the stage for the next couple of days. It's warming up the conversation on why we're here and why we need to be concerned about big data, privacy and disinformation, etc.
We'll start off with Mr. Kint.
We'll give you the floor.
First, I'll read the list so that you'll know when you're the next to speak, and maybe I'll say who you represent, although you're all here as individuals.
As I said, we're starting with Jason Kint.
Jim Balsillie, chair, Centre for International Governance Innovation.
Roger McNamee, author of Zucked.
Roger, I know your resumé goes a lot longer than that, but we'll keep it short.
Taylor Owen, associate professor, McGill University.
Ben Scott.
Heidi Tworek, assistant professor, University of British Columbia.
Shoshana Zuboff.
Shoshana, I really appreciated your book. It's very informative.
Last but not least is Maria Ressa. She is with us via teleconference.
We're glad you could join us tonight, Maria. I know that you've been in some trying circumstances of late. It would have been nice to have you here, but I understand that that's out of your control.
We'll start off with Jason, and next will be Jim.
Go ahead, Jason.
