Thanks, Chair.
Mr. Perrault, welcome back. It's great to have you.
I want to hone in on one of your recommendations about prohibiting misrepresentation. I know that's already come up quite a few times here, with the Conservatives having already tried to misrepresent your testimony here today, but we want to talk about deepfakes and the use of AI. I think you've called this technology a shock to the system, a "shock" to our electoral system in Canada. I think it's right to think about it as being of great concern. It's certainly something that concerns me.
I've been fortunate enough to be on the industry committee and working on a piece of legislation, a portion of which deals with.... The proposed act is called AIDA. It's the AI legislation that our government put forward. Unfortunately, it has been blocked for quite some time by opposition parties. Nonetheless, this is an opportunity to talk about how this relates to Bill C-65.
You've made some specific recommendations. Can you give us some more detail on how important this is because of how disruptive the disinformation may be to our democracy in the upcoming election, whenever that is? Please also hone in on your specific recommendations.
