Thank you for the question.
I agree. Algorithmic accountability should be added to Bill C-63. Earlier when I spoke, I said that it's loosely covered, but it requires a leap of faith. We need more in the legislation because the duty to act responsibly would leave it to the digital safety commission to develop codes of practice and regulations. There is scope there for algorithmic transparency and algorithmic amplification to be covered, but that kind of digital safety by design and the algorithmic accountability need to be embedded in the legislation itself.
The same goes for the children's provisions. It does cover algorithms when it comes to safety by design, but it's one very short provision. If we take your bill and some of the provisions in that, and if that becomes a blueprint to flesh out those parts of Bill C-63 in part 1, then I think that we would be in a good position
