With AIDA Canada has the opportunity to be the first. There is legislation is Europe that is moving forward, and that is something that we've pointed out in our submission on Bill C-27. This is a positive step, and Parliament needs to get it right. What I'm highlighting in the context of AI, in particular, is that the AIDA bill would bring in significant proactive risk mitigation measures to deal with harms and biases. This is good, and these are important measures, but they leave out the proactive steps for privacy, which is in the top three risks. This is why I'm insisting on having a privacy impact assessment as a mandatory obligation in the privacy bill, to close this gap.
