Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to welcome Mr. McSorley to the committee. He was a witness at my other committee, the public safety committee. We really appreciated that.
In your exchange with Ms. Rempel Garner, the subject of “algorithmic transparency” came up. It's a term that I am familiar with and am very much interested in. When people are posting online on these platforms, the platforms are not just passive bystanders. Their algorithms can both amplify and suppress. Algorithms can be very useful. They can direct people towards their interests; they can help make searching much more efficient, but they can also push people down to some very dark corners. I think over the last number of years we have seen the real-world results of that.
My colleague Peter Julian has come up with a bill, Bill C-292. I'm sure there's a variety of ways to approach this, but in terms of taking a more active role in promoting algorithmic transparency, how do you figure that fits into this subject matter that we're discussing today?
