Industry committee  We always take care to improve the process and help small businesses survive. I'd like to put that question to our members, but I can tell you that, generally speaking, if we think a measure may help small businesses, then we support it.

Industry committee  That's a good question. We didn't address it in our remarks. Are you referring to the bill as a whole or to the part concerning the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, or AIDA?

Industry committee  From what our members have told us, certain specific elements should be aligned with Quebec's Bill 25. I'm thinking of the word “minor”, for example. The age is set at 14 in Quebec. We think we should rely on that. I'm also thinking of the definition of “anonymize” and of the scope of the individual right of recourse.

Industry committee  Good afternoon. I am pleased to appear before you on behalf of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce alongside my colleague, Ulrike Bahr-Gedalia. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce represents more than 400 chambers of commerce and more than 200,000 businesses of all sizes, from coast to coast.
