Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with my colleague Ms. Khalid. We are looking for a degree of transparency here and to understand what has transpired in terms of the contracts. We all want to be able to move forward with a clear set of recommendations.
This technology isn't going away, and I'm sure that the TPS, the RCMP and many other policing services in the country understand that FRT is out in the world, and we really need some clarity on how to wrangle it in, including on the contracts that are signed with our security services in order to know what safeguards and guardrails need to be in place in such contracting in the future.
That said, I would caution our colleagues here in terms of understanding the scope of privacy laws and security concerns when we do ask for these documents of what's at play. We should always proceed with caution, while at the same time getting the documents that we require to have a fulsome understanding of what is at hand.
