Good morning, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 118 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. In addition, pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, April 24, 2023, the committee is resuming consideration of Bill C‑27, an act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other acts.
Today we are continuing clause‑by‑clause consideration of the bill.
I'd like to welcome back the representatives from the Department of Industry and thank them for joining us again.
We have Mark Schaan, senior assistant deputy minister, strategy and innovation policy sector; Samir Chhabra, director general, marketplace framework policy branch; and Runa Angus, senior director, strategy and innovation policy sector.
Colleagues, as you will recall, we were at amendment NDP‑2, which relates to clause 2.
(Clause 2)
Monsieur Williams, you had the floor when we were debating NDP-2. I'll give it back to you as we resume the clause-by-clause on Bill C-27.
