One of the issues that surfaced is that the government uses e-tools, as they call them—spreadsheets, if you will—to help them with processing. In other instances, they use AI systems.
If the people who are creating these e-tools or these AI systems have discriminatory or racists attitudes, would it not be the case that those tools that the IRCC utilizes to process applications will also potentially have embedded racist points of view that would impact the decision-making in the process?
Witnesses are calling for the government to do an independent audit of these e-tools and AI systems. What are your thoughts on that?
