Can AI enhance the way parliaments work? Speaking at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Cape Town, Senator Rosemary Moodie highlighted how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the way parliaments work, from summarizing and analyzing policy documents to preparing plain-language briefing materials. However, she underscored that these benefits require thoughtful governance, including frameworks to ensure AI is used safely, responsibly and ethically. #SenCA #69CPC @CPA_Secretariat , @ParlDiplomacy

At the recent Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, @SenatorSalma gave a Canadian perspective on how Commonwealth parliaments can show leadership in a complex international environment by responding effectively to emerging global challenges. She reminded delegates that parliamentary democracies give citizens a voice at a time when public trust, accountability and democratic resilience are more important than ever. #SenCA #69CPC @ParlDiplomacy @CPA_Secretariat

At the Windsor and Detroit ports of entry, senators heard about lessons learned and the positive impact that the decades-long Gordie Howe International Bridge project and its opening have had on the region and its communities. Senators @SenMacDonald and Suze Youance were in Michigan last week as part of the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group mission to Detroit and Lansing, that brought together parliamentarians, Michigan state legislators and industry leaders from sectors ranging from tech to farming. Discussions highlighted the importance of maintaining strong ties between Michigan and Canadian officials, while also recognizing the close family and community ties that exist within the Lake Erie border region. The Canadian delegation joined members of the Detroit community at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for the 9/11 Service of Remembrance: 25th Anniversary ceremony. #SenCA @ParlDiplomacy @CanBorder @GordieHoweBrg @MichiganCentral
