Good afternoon, everyone.
I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 53 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Therefore, members can attend in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. Should any technical challenges arise, please advise me. Please note we may need to suspend for a few minutes, in order to ensure all members can fully participate.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted by this committee on Monday, November 14, 2022, we are resuming our study of privacy concerns in relation to the ArriveCAN application.
I would now like to welcome our witness for today. From Amazon Web Services, Inc., we have Nicole Foster, director of global artificial intelligence and machine learning, and Canada public policy.
Ms. Foster, I want to welcome you to the committee today.
We have just one witness, Mr. Villemure, so a sound check wasn't done.
Ms. Foster has asked the committee for seven minutes to address us at the start, and I have granted this.
Ms. Foster, the floor is yours. Please go ahead.
