AI Data Centres

During Members’ Statements, Jenny Kwan of the NDP raised concerns about the government’s approach to AI data centres. She said residents of Vancouver East oppose proposed data centres in dense residential neighbourhoods, citing noise, air pollution, and high use of power and water, and she called on the government to regulate first rather than taking an “invest now, regulate later” approach. She argued that people’s homes and utility bills should come before the interests of large tech companies.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
