Thanks, Professor.

I have a question for Professor McKelvey.

We just completed a summit here, a caregiving summit, on Parliament Hill. In terms of caregiving, there are eight million Canadians who are caregivers. A lot of them are unpaid caregivers. We also have a large paid caregiving part of our economy. We're talking about nurses, PSWs, home care, child care and whatnot.

I wanted to ask you if you could talk about how AI might impact caregiving in Canada. If you're not able to speak about that in particular, what questions could we be asking to find out what the potential impact of AI is on caregiving in Canada?
