I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 21 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the committee is resuming its study of the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and its regulation.
I would like to welcome our witnesses for today.
On Zoom, we have Frédéric Gonzalo, who is a consultant, speaker and trainer in digital marketing and artificial intelligence. Welcome.
We also have, from the Canadian SHIELD Institute for Public Policy, Vas Bednar, managing director.
Welcome back to committee. You were here a year ago today. We're celebrating an anniversary. Isn't that wonderful?
Dr. Matthew da Mota is the senior policy researcher at the Canadian SHIELD Institute. Welcome.
Before you begin, I decided today to consolidate the three witnesses together. We have an hour and a half. If it's the will of the committee to go a little bit longer, we will have the ability to have extra time. As it stands right now, we're going to finish roughly around six o'clock.
Mr. Gonzalo, I'm going to start with you for up to five minutes to address the committee.
Go ahead, please.
