I'm going to call the meeting to order.
I want to welcome everybody and wish everybody a very happy new year.
Welcome to meeting number 24 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 witness for the first hour today.
We have Wyatt Tessari L'Allié, who is the founder and executive director of AI Governance and Safety Canada.
Now, we were to have a second witness, Etienne Brisson. My understanding is that he is facing some serious road conditions.
Mr. Hardy, you took the same route this morning.
Roads conditions were bad, weren't they?
Okay, so if he does get here for the second hour, I'm going to be glad to include him as a witness in that second hour.
Mr.... I'm going to call you Wyatt, okay? You have up to five minutes to address the committee. Go ahead, sir.
