The quote is authentic and verbatim: the Canada.ca speech transcript at the provided URL contains the exact sentence, and the transcript itself dates the remarks to September 10, 2024. Although that page’s page-details date is 2024-09-17, the speech date shown in the transcript matches the stored date. Separate National Defence releases identify Bill Blair as the Minister of National Defence who participated in and addressed the REAIM Summit on September 10, confirming the attribution.

The official Canada.ca REAIM Summit remarks page for September 10, 2024 contains this as part of a longer sentence, and a separate Canada.ca release confirms Bill Blair addressed the summit that day, so the attribution is supported. However, the submitted quote is not fully verbatim: it omits the ending clause about endorsement of the Blueprint for Action without marking that omission, so the wording is materially trimmed rather than exactly quoted.

The source_url (canada.ca) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, but the quote was independently confirmed via web search of the same official remarks and corroborating coverage (Lethbridge Herald, Global News, Epoch Times). Bill Blair (then Canadian Minister of National Defence), in his remarks at the REAIM Summit 2024 (Seoul, Sept 2024), discussed new threats driving AI innovation within the Department of National Defence and said "Canada remains fully committed to the responsible use of AI" via its endorsement of the Blueprint for Action. The two [...] omissions are faithful. Author attribution is correct. Vote alignment checks out: the statement is "Promoting responsible use of AI in defense policy," and Blair commits Canada to responsible military AI, so a "for" vote is appropriate. This is a 2024 quote but remains relevant, so it is kept.
