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.
I’d like to welcome our witnesses today: Alexander Max Jarvie, partner, Davies Ward Phillips and Vineberg LLP; François Joli-Coeur, partner, Borden Ladner Gervais; Scott Lamb, partner, Clark Wilson LLP; Carole Piovesan, co‑founder and partner, INQ Law; and David Young, principal, privacy and regulatory counsel, David Young Law.
