Mr. Speaker, I am asking for grace to table a petition. I did not do it in my first standing, but I do have another one today. The Deputy Speaker: Do I have unanimous consent from the chamber in order that the member may table the petition? Some hon. members: Agreed.

C-9 Mr. Speaker, I am presenting a petition today regarding Bill. Canadians are concerned that Liberal-Bloc amendments to Bill C-9 could be used to criminalize passages from the Bible, the Quran, the Torah and other sacred texts. The state has no place in religious texts or teachings of any faith community. Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are fundamental rights that must be [more]

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition submitted by Canadians and by residents of Kitchener Centre who are deeply concerned about the treatment of Falun Gong practitioners in Canada and China. They are calling on the Government of Canada to take these concerns seriously and to stand firm in the defence of human rights and the safety of Canadians. I want to thank the members of the Falun [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to challenge the member opposite on the statement he made that this has only happened in the past year in our auto industry, when in the past decade, we have gone from the production of two million cars down to 1.2 million. My question is, why are you continuing with a plan that is trying to mitigate production losses, instead of supporting our Conservative plan, which [more]

Mr. Speaker, I want to mention that we literally just heard from the opposite side that the Liberal plan and strategy for Canadian auto workers is to “wait it out”. Yes, we have come to the table with a plan, a common-sense plan, that would keep workers working in Canada. All I have heard is scrutiny of that plan and cherry-picked quotes from Unifor to say that the plan is not okay. I would [more]

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for bringing the temperature down in the House a little bit and for bringing some pragmatic solutions to the table. In Kitchener Centre, there are constituents who are worried about their jobs. They are worried not just about assembly but also about the broader ecosystem of parts manufacturing for the auto industry. Can my colleague please explain [more]

Canadian companies that don't operate abroad would still have control over Canadian data. It's only if they're operating in foreign entities, though.

That being the case, do you believe specialty AI could be more of a tool in the tool box of workers instead of a replacement for workers?

Thank you again for your answer. I'm just going to take a moment to ask Mr. Geist a question as well. You mentioned having sovereign control over our data and the importance of it, and I agree completely. One thing that happened just recently is that $240 million was given to CoreWeave indirectly for a data centre here in Canada, when we had a Canadian company, eStruxture, that could have done [more]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hi, Dr. Bengio. Thank you for joining us today. My questions will be for you. Much of your work rightly focuses on the risks and safety challenges of superintelligent AI. In places like my community of Kitchener Centre, Canada's innovation capital, we're seeing specialty AI help support people with brain injuries, diagnose disease, assist in civic planning and streamline [more]

Thank you for that. In my community of Kitchener Centre, Canada's innovation capital, we see advanced manufacturing and tech innovation go hand in hand. How can Canada better align its cybersecurity and AI strategies, both to protect these industries and to ensure they remain competitive globally?
