Mr. Speaker, my colleague has been a long-time advocate for the kinds of policies that get results for the climate and affordability, and I want to share my appreciation for that. He has laid out some very good specific numbers that show what is possible with the right kinds of investment in the right kinds of vehicles. The flip side is that if we go back to a 60-year-old policy and abandon 50 [more]

Mr. Speaker, yes, I agree. We do need to have a focus on affordability and bringing jobs back to Canada. That is why these investments and the strategy, which responds to the moment and the situation that was created in the last year, not 10 years ago but in the last year, are the right strategy for Canada.

Mr. Speaker, this is a pro-investment plan with which we intend to attract more auto investment to Canada, and it is the one defending our trade interests every day south of the border.

Mr. Speaker, that is a good question and here is my answer. We have reinstated the incentives and we have created a new electrification strategy. In these changing times, what with the war in the Middle East, I think that our existing policies and the incentives that will be announced next week will be well received by Quebeckers and Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to speak to the motion, which I will be opposing because it would roll back 50 years of environmental progress and protection. It embraces not the last era, but three eras before of automotive production in Canada. It also rejects a strategy that we know is already working to bring modern vehicles, with a modern means of construction, to a modern [more]

Mr. Speaker, I think Canadians want the Civic, they want the RAV4 and they want some of the cars that are coming out of the plants that we think we can attract. I think Canadians want the vehicles that are being made here, and they want to be part of the electric future, which does not mean just the vehicles, but all the connected technologies, software and parts that are made in Canada. When we [more]

Absolutely, Mr. Speaker, this plan is pro-dealership, including through the EV rebates. We have a critical minerals strategy, not only for domestic but for export. We have a software and a parts industry, including in the hon. member's riding, and she has been such a champion of those sectors and emerging sectors that are more tied to this space. I know she has an interest in artificial [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, my colleague is quite right. He clearly demonstrated the possibilities. We have made commitments on this, but there is still a lot more work to be done. That is one of the reasons why the ministers and thehave been travelling to Europe and other countries to forge partnerships with respect to critical minerals. Yes, we need to invest more in processing these minerals [more]

Are there some augmentation use cases you want to refer to us as a committee that you think are worth pointing out on the positive side of AI adoption that do the work of augmentation?

I have a question that maybe others can jump in on, but I'll start with you, Mr. Bengio. There's been reference in a couple cases to the idea of a sovereign AI stack. I don't think any country is completely sovereign when it comes to its AI stack, so what are your recommendations for Canada about where within the AI stack we should attempt to be the most sovereign?

You mentioned in your testimony that safety and innovation can go hand in hand. Can you give us some examples of innovations you're developing through LawZero or that you're seeing being deployed on the ground that centre safety in the way you describe?
