Information & Ethics committee  I mentioned the data transfer project in my opening remarks. The data transfer project is a solid attempt to start addressing that challenge. We've long had both the data liberation front and then data takeout tools that allow our users to export their information so they can be used in a different service.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  Do you mean real time ad disclosure to the level of detail you have just described for political advertising?

Information & Ethics committee  Okay.

Information & Ethics committee  Once again, I can't talk to the Prime Minister's process, but I thought that Waterfront Toronto actually had a request for information that was a competitive process.

Information & Ethics committee  You'd have to speak to Waterfront Toronto about how many expressions of interest they had for the RFI.

Information & Ethics committee  Unfortunately, I can't speak to what Waterfront Toronto knew or didn't know and what fed into their decision-making process.

Information & Ethics committee  As I said, Sidewalk Toronto is an independent company that is pursuing its own business and working with the government independently.

Information & Ethics committee  The fact that we're having the conversation today means that it does reflect on Alphabet and the sister companies, including Google. However, from what I've seen as a bystander, Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs Toronto are engaging publicly on these issues. This is part of that dialogue.

Information & Ethics committee  I'm sorry to be repetitive, but this is a decision-making process by Waterfront Toronto, and the process they followed was under their own control.

Information & Ethics committee  I saw the same report you did, but I wasn't involved in the process and I haven't seen the documents.

Information & Ethics committee  There's a specific reason that Sidewalk is an independent company with a very different mandate and behaves in a very different way. That's because it operates independently from Google, both on data protection as well as the way it's working through the product development in Toronto.

Information & Ethics committee  This is something that we covered in my earlier meeting. From Google's point of view, we've already implemented the steps necessary to be compliant with the general data protection regulations. We have internally gone through the hundreds of years of engineers' time to make that transition.

Information & Ethics committee  For us, we're extremely happy with the opportunities that are available in Canada, not just in terms of the business but in terms of growing the engineering teams and making an investment in Canada's innovation ecosystem. Regulatory conversations are nuanced, but we wouldn't make a blanket statement like that.

Information & Ethics committee  I'm not sure. I think those conversations.... He must be referring to the leadership of Alphabet when he referred to Google, and to Alphabet itself. Sidewalk Labs was explicitly built to pursue projects like this.
