Well, I'm happy you asked the question. By the way, Canada was the first country in the world to have a national AI strategy. We were also the first to have a national quantum strategy. We were the second in the world to have a voluntary code of conduct on AI, and obviously, we were, I think, the first or the second jurisdiction in the world to introduce a bill to regulate AI. I think that's what members of this committee care about.
We need to move from fear to opportunity, and in order to do that, you need to build trust in society. The way you build trust is through regulation, so that people understand what AI is going to do for them and that we're not going to let the genie out of the bottle. We're going to make sure that whatever innovation there is will be responsible and in service of humanity.
Canadians want to be in the forefront of innovation—I'm going to be at one of the biggest summits a few hours from now, in Toronto. At the same time, they expect us as regulators, as legislators, to make sure that it's responsible, that it's going to serve them and serve humanity, and that there are guidelines. That's what I hope we can achieve with this committee.
