Public Safety committee  Yes, absolutely.

Public Safety committee  I'm not confident, as it stands now, that those rights are protected. It's a very one-sided bill in that regard. It gives too much discretion and power to government agencies without the necessary transparency and accountability.

Public Safety committee  There are many recommendations there. We've just talked about a number of them, but I would say that the first recommendation, about constraining the scope of the ministerial orders—which, at this point, is relatively unbounded except by a general sense of necessity—would be one

Public Safety committee  One of the things that could be improved—and it was raised by Kate Robertson—is the role that NSIRA, the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, can play. It's very concerning that it has reported repeatedly that it has not been able to establish that CSE has been opera

Public Safety committee  In addition to proportionality, which has been mentioned several times, much greater transparency about the operations of the security agencies and the measures that are being taken is required. At this point, we do not have that kind of transparency. There have been many recom

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair and committee members. I am Andrew Clement, a computer scientist and professor emeritus in the faculty of information at the University of Toronto. I co-founded the interdisciplinary Identity, Privacy and Security Institute there. For the past decade, I ha

Industry committee  I'd repeat that you would have to talk to the people who are affected. I believe it was a person from LEAF who made that earlier remark. However, I don't see personally that this bill would provide it. It hasn't been something we would have thought of or anticipated—having that

Industry committee  This is a really crucial issue. We've heard that AI systems are unpredictable in their behaviour, and also that we can't understand, or we can't explain, how they've come up with those, so those are two big problems. In addition to having conversations and being open about this,

Industry committee  Yes, I've said that consultation is sadly in short supply around AIDA, and a lot of the problems that I think we see in AIDA would have been addressed if people had been able to, from a variety of perspectives, come in and present them. What do you do now? Separating it, I think

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  Let's start with the big ones, particularly in the context of AI. There are only three or four companies at this point that have the financial and technical means to develop large language models, so you've already started off with a very highly concentrated market before you go

Industry committee  I was just going to respond to the idea of algorithmic collusion. The bigger issue, of which I think this is an example, is that we do not know how these algorithms are being used. That's all hidden and proprietary. There are enormous financial market incentives for companies

Industry committee  As the witness mentioned in his testimony, there's insufficient focus in this bill on curation, and curation of the training data is incredibly important. If, as he just said, you can't trace back where something has come from, that is a big problem in itself. The New York Times

Industry committee  Copyright is not an area of my expertise, but I would say that updating the Copyright Act and then linking that into this bill would be a way to go.

Industry committee  I'm sorry, but I missed the first part of your question.
