Therefore be it resolved

that the CCR advocate with the Canadian government to ensure that:

  1. Any use of artificial intelligence which may be adopted by the Canadian government, including IRCC, CBSA and IRB, respect international and domestic human rights law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
  2. The government provides transparency regarding current practices and future uses of AI, independent oversight mechanisms, and any new binding standards;
