Yes, I've been able to review it briefly, but not in complete depth. I'd say that it certainly demonstrates the clear gaps that I see in Canada's approach to the artificial intelligence and data act. You see much more fulsome treatment of potential harms and willingness to engage in the sector-specific issues around artificial intelligence. I think it's a document worth studying just to demonstrate the complexity of the challenges facing regulators and legislators...and then in comparison to AIDA.
I would agree with Dr. Frank that there is probably a need for a harmonized approach. Canada is quite active in that to some degree, whether it's participating in a global partnership on AI or in some of its bilateral agreements with France or the United Kingdom. I think there is a debate that Canada is going to have to position itself where it's at least working—and I know there are efforts to talk about treaties with the EU around AI—in parallel with the United States.
The one thing I would say is that with Bill C-27 and Quebec's Law 25, I think there is a big test about GDPR compliance. Really, what should be front and centre when we are talking about our legislative agenda for AI is understanding it in relationship to the movement that's happening in Europe around the AI act, and I think to a lesser degree with the United States, although I commend what that order has been able to accomplish.
