“Artificial intelligence is changing how Canadians learn, work, and run businesses. Students want skills for future jobs, and small businesses want to use AI to grow. How is the government helping Canadians benefit from this new technology?”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, AI is fundamentally redefining how Canadians work, learn and build their businesses. Our students want the skills and tools to seize the jobs of tomorrow. Our SMEs want to adopt AI so they can innovate, grow and create good jobs here in Canada. Can the government explain how Canada’s “AI for All” strategy will enable Canadians to take full advantage of the economic benefits of this technological revolution?
