Welcome to meeting number 41 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
I will remind you that if you are using your earpiece and it's plugged in but not on your ear, please make sure to place it down on the coaster in front of you. That's to protect the hearing of our interpreters.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on September 22, 2025, the committee is resuming its study of the opportunities, risks and regulation of AI in Canada's strategic industries.
With us today is an esteemed panel of guests. I'd like to welcome Barry Sookman, senior counsel, McCarthy Tétrault; Ewan Reid, founder and chief executive officer, Mission Control Space Services Inc.; and of course Brian Gallant, chief executive officer, Space Canada.
Welcome to all of you. As you know, you will each have up to five minutes for your opening remarks. Then we will proceed to rounds of questioning.
Mr. Sookman, the floor is yours for five minutes.
