Thank you very much Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses today. It's good to see several of you again. To switch gears just a tiny bit, I thought it could be useful to hear a little bit about the accountability side of things and a bit more about the public's interaction with the House of Commons. Before asking that, I'll compliment you on the work that's been done on this so far. In general,

Both are important now. This next question is a bit more technical and picks up on questions from a few colleagues. Is the pilot of Copilot the same instance or same initiative as within the public service, or are these developing in parallel to each other? Are there any best practices from both being developed in parallel—if I'm reading the head shaking correctly—that are being taken so far?

Are there particular barriers right now that you're sifting through as those requests increase?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Technical difficulty—Editor [] your expertise and insights today. Returning us to the democracy and Parliament scope for a moment, I'll go to Mr. Bridgman and start with a very quick story on the question. I just ran, over the summer, in a by-election to have the chance to be here today. On the first full day of that campaign, we started hearing some interesting things

Oct 8, 2026

How might we require that platforms—we will call them that—would insist that this take place? You could think about voting information where there are clear Elections Act implications already. It's already against the law to share incorrect voting information. I don't think it would work as a defence for such a platform to say in those cases that it was lazily trained or the rest. For other

Oct 8, 2026

Okay. We're close to running out of time. As something to think about perhaps, I'll ask this question. At the high-effort scenario in these models, we've all talked about the extraordinary capacity to affect outcomes in all manner of human endeavour, and democratic campaigns could be one of them. How could we begin to track the spending that goes into the deployment of such things or even

Oct 8, 2026

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'll maybe start with Mr. Owen and pick up from where we were with your colleague a little bit. I'm struck, though, by the term you used of “democratic alignment”. I'll pick up on that and on how we ensure that these models and tools are, in their use and interactions with democratic processes, aligned with our democratic principles. The question I was asking your

Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, during the recent by-elections, Canadians made clear that we must rapidly diversify our exports. To do that, our government is working to make Canada a clean and conventional energy superpower to new markets while protecting the nature we treasure.

Mr. Speaker, genuinely, I thank the hon. member across the way. It is an important opportunity to speak about a lot of what we heard in the community, over the past two months especially. It was and is a fascinating time, with so much vulnerability in all the communities we come from given exposure to the trade war, but it is also a time to reflect on a lot of the upside. I found at every door a

Beauport—Limoilou Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time today with the member for. I rise to give my first speech in the House with gratitude to the people of North Vancouver—Capilano and a profound sense of responsibility. This seat belongs to them, and I will hold it in trust and work every day to further earn the confidence that they have placed in me. Prime Minister I thank my predecessor,

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's important question. I know that exactly that kind of consideration was a key theme of the consultations that have taken place over previous months. It is one that is important to me as well in ensuring that those assessments are rigorous from the beginning, that they are built in from the beginning and that they are serious at every stage. The bill would do
