If you'll allow it, I'm going to put a different hat on here and not necessarily speak as a Space Canada representative but as a Canadian watching this and watching the important work you're all doing.
One thing I feel is, from the outside, that we have incredible AI researchers and thought leaders here in Canada. By extension, we have incredible institutions that can support everything we want to do with AI in this country as well. I feel very lucky that Canada has those foundations.
At the same time, I think we're a little timid about it. Hopefully, the hearings here will help us galvanize, as a country, and take the actions we need to, whether it's to try to enable the adoption of AI in order to increase productivity in our economy, as I mentioned, or to ensure that we're putting in the appropriate safeguards. I am a little worried that we're sitting around a bit more than other countries—if I'm being honest—but I reserve lots of hope based on the work you're doing. Having these consultations might help us propel and make the right investments, the right policy choices and, of course, the right safeguards framework to help ensure that AI adoption in Canada is a positive story—that we're able to reap the benefits and mitigate the challenges it could represent.
