Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Monsieur Garon, to our committee. We also acknowledge Mr. Lemire's work on the committee. He was a very good member, and we wish him well in his new committee.
One thing you mentioned about the Red Cross was interesting, but it leads to other discussions that I want to get your thoughts on such as policing domestically and security—private security. I'll maybe go around the table at some point, but maybe start with the Red Cross. I think we should be having some concerns there. In the United States, there's already been AI making mistakes on facial recognition.
I had a chance to attend a number of conferences as part of the Canada-U.S. parliamentary association. The national and state legislatures, Congress and Senate, from all across the U.S. have a lot of workshops. We heard from some of the large AI players that we haven't even heard from here, but there was quite a recognition of the racial biases that are currently being programmed right in there because they don't even have the right people.
Can we maybe talk a bit about it domestically? I take your point with regard to the international issues, and I want to thank your organization for a lot of good work. I have a vulnerable community that has a lot of people from across the globe, so I want to thank you for that.
Perhaps we'll start with that and go across the board, if anybody else, online as well, would like to contribute to this part.
