Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being with us this morning. I'm going to begin with Dr. Owen.
Dr. Owen, on October 9, 2025, the Financial Post published an article titled “'Flawed and broken': Critics warn Ottawa's AI task force is too industry focused”, with critics saying that “the government's approach lacks inclusivity and transparency”.
It's hard to imagine that 28 task force members are enough to cover everything and every aspect and angle there is to know about AI during what was considered a national sprint over 30 days to prepare recommendations to a government. Now that you've gone through the process—I've read the report you submitted—do you believe that other expert areas were adequately represented and/or missing from the task force?
