Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the's rhetoric is completely disconnected from reality. He said that Canada would be the best economy in the G7, yet he has delivered the worst, as 100,000 jobs are gone in two months. Here is Canada's G7 record. Canada has the only shrinking economy, the highest food inflation, the highest household debt and the second-highest unemployment. He continues to point to [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his avid defence of religious freedom in this chamber, at committee and across this entire country. I was listening to the arguments from the Liberals and they seem to not take religious freedom seriously. They chalk it up to a fundraising scheme. I was wondering if my hon. colleague could lay out exactly why a defence of religious freedom is so [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives would like to put forward a supplementary report. Canada's defence industrial capacity must be understood as part of the broader national strategy of sovereignty and resilience. As Canada enters a more uncertain geopolitical era, economic strength, energy, security, technological capability and military readiness are increasingly inseparable. Stated plainly, we [more]

C-242 Oxford Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to speak to Bill, the jail not bail act, at second reading. It was put forward by my friend and colleague, the hon. member for, and I am proud to have seconded the legislation. Leader of the Opposition Oxford I just listened to the Liberal government's narrative of our perspective on crime, and it is an alternative universe. This bill, the [more]

How far away would you estimate we are from reaching general artificial intelligence, where AI is as smart as our collective humanity?

With our government, in our own AI talks here, we focus on business wins. Job losses are not yet part of the broader discussion. We really have no AI laws here and no safety watchdog. We've had legislation proposed that we haven't seen. Generally, the problem with governments is they're essentially reactive most of the time. It seems like we don't have the fortitude or the fortune, for lack of a [more]

Thank you very much.

Professor, we've also heard from Anthropic's former safety lead that in perhaps six to 18 months, there are going to be AI models that are capable of long-range strategic attacks. I remember a story that we were told at this committee about a robotic dog that had, essentially, a kill switch—a button on a wall. It was able to reprogram itself, because it knew that this switch would turn it off. [more]

Thank you, Professor. Professor Geist, I have one quick question for you. You've described the Liberal government's AI consultation in the past as essentially “consultation theatre”—a process that appeared to seek public input but already had a predetermined outcome. I am wondering if you could elaborate briefly on this, so we don't make the same mistake going forward.

If AI significantly lowers the barrier to entry for cyber-attacks, are we entering a world where less sophisticated actors are going to be able to deploy this technology and cyber-attacks against national security infrastructure would actually ramp up?

Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for your opening testimonies. Mr. Dehghantanha, at our committee meetings, we heard testimony that AI has fundamentally changed the nature of cyber-attacks, moving from tools that would assist hackers in their operation to tools and systems that can now autonomously build attack plans, create multiple strategies, troubleshoot, and find [more]
