Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses again for joining us.
As Ms. Ménard mentioned, we're beginning a study that is far from over. I believe we'll have to continue discussing this societal issue for a long time to come—perhaps even for the rest of humanity.
I'd now like to address another topic: the rise of AI and, unfortunately, the whole issue of deepfakes. In fact, this was one of the considerations we had when we were planning this study. We know that deepfakes are a growing phenomenon, thanks to AI. Sometimes, deepfakes leave irreversible scars on the women who are victims of this phenomenon. That said, Bill C‑16 came into effect in July and criminalized deepfakes.
My questions will be directed first to you, Ms. Kubicek.
What are your thoughts on Bill C‑16, which led to the Protecting Victims Act, and what additions would you have made to it?
