For immediate release

Ottawa, October 31, 2023 -

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities is undertaking a study on the implications of artificial intelligence technologies for the Canadian labour force, and the impacts these technologies may have on different regions, organized labour, workforce sectors, and on people of diverse age groups, genders, income levels, races and on persons with disabilities. The study follows a motion sponsored by Michael Coteau (Member of Parliament for Don Valley East) and adopted by the Committee on Friday, June 2, 2023.

The Committee invites members of the public to submit written briefs no longer than 10 pages (approximately 4,000 words) for consideration in the study. For more information on how to prepare a submission, please consult the Guide for Submitting Briefs to House of Commons Committees.

The deadline for the Committee to receive written briefs from the public is Wednesday, November 22, 2023. Witnesses submitting briefs in only one official language should do so at least five working days before the deadline to allow time for translation. Briefs may be submitted electronically to the Committee Clerk at HUMA@parl.gc.ca or submitted online through the Committee’s study page of its website.

Canadians are welcome to follow the Committee on its website where additional information is provided on its meetings, including past testimony; its ongoing work; and its membership.
