All right.
You said that, as part of your mandate, your role is to strengthen public trust in science. I'd like to hear your opinion on the government's latest strategy, specifically the one on artificial intelligence.
We, the parliamentary members of the committee, were unable to determine who participated in what is supposedly the broadest public consultation in the government's history—the artificial intelligence strategy. We asked questions, but the government refused to provide us with documents, claiming that translating them would be too expensive. Now, it is impossible to know who participated in the consultation and who actually influenced the government's decisions regarding this strategy.
Does this seem consistent with the government's own stated goal of strengthening public trust, when it is impossible to verify the identity or representativeness of participants in a strategic consultation?
