OTTAWA — Artificial intelligence will have an impact on the Canadian labour force, a parliamentary committee recently heard, and MPs are suggesting ways the federal government can better prepare.

"While technological shifts can be disruptive, there are likely to be benefits, including for productivity and growth," a summary of the hearings reads.

Its report is recommending the government assess whether federal labour legislation has the capacity to protect workers' rights as AI technology is adopted. "Witnesses noted that employers should be required to train or retrain employees affected by the adoption of AI or provide them with opportunities to move to other positions," the report says.
