Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses, and thank them for their understanding regarding the first hour of the meeting.
Ms. Tiessen, you're right to raise the challenges that AI presents in Canada. Numerous witnesses have recently explained to the committee that innovations and data hosted on American servers are subject to American laws, even if the servers themselves are in Quebec or Canada. That means an important part of our knowledge and intellectual property is no longer under our control.
What are the real risks of this lack of intellectual sovereignty for public research and science policy in Canada?
