Industry committee  I'll just quickly say that Statistics Canada has long been at the forefront of new models for utilizing technology to aid and abet the statistical system. It wasn't AI, but certainly their pioneering efforts in waste water as a means to be able to continue to understand both the

Industry committee  There is, in fact, a millimetre wave consultation that's being held. There's also one on...I'm going to get the name of it wrong.

Industry committee  It's a separate framework for essentially what we call unused segments of the sector, so those are the two spectrum frameworks that are still out.

Industry committee  It's different, so “use it or lose it” is part of the build-out conditions that are part of the ultimate result of a spectrum auction. When spectrum is actually auctioned, it then has conditions assigned to it, including licence conditions for what the build-out rate is and how q

Industry committee  Just quickly, I'd say that it's a law of general economic application that applies across the entirety of the economy. It will modify behaviour as it relates to how people approach the overall actions they're going to take in areas in which competition has a really big bearing. T

Industry committee  We have proposed to highlight a number of high-impact AI systems that would be subject to regulation and that would have obligations in terms of transparency, red teaming and some of the protections against potential harm and bias that would be put in place as a function of that.

Industry committee  The entire regime is overseen by the Privacy Commissioner, who has considerable capacity, such as the power to make orders and recommend AMPs and the ability to enter into consent agreements to modify the behaviour of those who potentially violate the privacy of Canadians. All of

Industry committee  As it relates to the government's position on Crown copyright, it's not a singular position. I think it's important to look at the Treasury Board guidance that relates to the publicity of information generated by the Crown, including the open-by-default standard and the importanc

Industry committee  I'm not sufficiently familiar, as this hearing today is on the privacy bill, with the full international examples of Crown copyright.

Industry committee  There are a number of provisions we have yet to get to in the CPPA that heighten the level of privacy protection for all personal information collected, used and disclosed by corporate entities in the Canadian context. They include requirements for express consent in a number of

Industry committee  No. We're comfortable with the idea of including a list, but an indicative and non‑exclusive list. The list needs to have both aspects so that there can be more than what's on the list and so that what's within the list is indicative, thereby giving context to the Office of the

Industry committee  It's about disclosures. It's about the nature of requiring express consent for every use, collection and disclosure of financial information, because the list as constructed says that such information is, by definition, sensitive, which means it cannot rely on implied consent. T

Industry committee  I would be uncomfortable with that characterization. I suggest that the government is suggesting the definition of sensitive information should have important flexibilities to both understand context and understand cases and use cases where that information may not be sensitive.

Industry committee  It isn't about regulations. It's a definition that includes sensitive information. It's about interpreting the definition.

Industry committee  In this case, it's hard to predict the possible interpretation given the construction of the sentence. It says that the list is non‑exclusive. However, all the items on the list are included in the definition. There isn't any room for interpretation, because it's clear. As a res
