This is a really good question.
Look, I understand that Canada wants to act quickly to regulate AI. The original form of the bill, which was a very high-level framework and would have allowed a lot of these issues to be discussed and finalized during the regulation-making process, would have allowed us, allowed Canada, to align with other international jurisdictions. The problem is that the amendments the minister has proposed to the bill in his letters to the committee take a position on all of the issues that are currently under discussion in international forums as part of the G7 process, as part of the Bletchley Declaration and as part of the OECD process. Other jurisdictions, our peer jurisdictions, are discussing these issues now.
The minister's proposed amendments, if accepted by this committee, are going to box Canada into a regulatory framework that may look very different from the one that emerges from international discussions. That is really our concern—not the original text of the bill, but the amendments proposed by the minister.
