It's important for Canadians to have a better understanding of artificial intelligence, decision-making and how it impacts them. This is an area where I agree with the consultation. We need to have explanations for why the decision was made and what type of information was used to make the decision. That not only protects Canadians by telling them what's going on but also generates trust.
It's important now. I made this recommendation in the private sector two or three years ago. I thought it was very important in the early days of AI. In a way, there's still a lot of development, and it's moving very quickly. Having more information, the ability to ask questions—not to get the technical details, but to know the types of information and decisions—and transparency are important.
