Thank you. Those two budgets are adopted.
Before I get to our witnesses, I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. Those participating by video conference can click on the microphone icon to activate your mic. Those on Zoom can select the appropriate channel for interpretation at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. Please mute yourself when you're not speaking. I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
With that, I would like to welcome the witnesses for our first panel.
We are joined today in person by Mehmet Murat Kristal, a professor at the Schulich School of Business, York University. We are also joined, via video conference, by Dr. Taylor Owen, Beaverbrook chair in media, ethics and communications, and founding director of the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy. From Ontario Tech University, we are joined, via video conference, by Dr. Steven Murphy, president and vice-chancellor. We are expecting Dr. Peter Lewis, Canada research chair in trustworthy artificial intelligence. He will join soon.
All witnesses will have five minutes for their opening remarks, and then we will go into rounds of questioning by the members.
We will start with Dr. Kristal.
Please go ahead.
