Thank you so much, Mr. Therrien, for joining us again.
In early 2020, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into Clearview AI, the facial recognition technology, on whether or not they had breached Canadian law. Your finding was that “What Clearview does is mass surveillance and...is illegal.”
Throughout that time, the RCMP made a number of false statements to the public about their use of Clearview AI, and I asked you to investigate whether or not the RCMP had been using this illegal technology. Your office reached out to the RCMP, and they said they weren't. Is that correct?
