The all-party Emerging Technology Caucus is a cross-partisan working group of Canadian Parliamentarians who have convened in response to a rapidly changing technology landscape that presents both opportunities and challenges for Canada.
The Caucus has been formed in recognition of the fact that in many cases, emerging technologies change and are deployed faster than the speed of government, sometimes to the detriment of economic growth and public health and safety.
The Caucus aims to function as a nimble forum to link Parliamentarians with a broad range of stakeholders engaged in relevant fields (e.g. artificial intelligence, web3 and blockchain technologies, etc) in order to educate, and where possible, build consensus on principles related to the role of government in these areas in order to see positive outcomes for Canadians.
