Where AI regulation stands in Canada
Canada's federal AI bill died in early 2025 with no successor introduced. No comprehensive federal AI law is currently in force.
Updates for Canada
AIDA died on the Order Paper
Canada's first attempt at comprehensive AI regulation, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA, part of Bill C-27), died when Parliament was prorogued on 6 January 2025. As of mid-2026 no successor bill has been introduced; the government has signalled a preference for addressing AI through privacy-law reform rather than a standalone AI statute. Themes flagged for a possible future framework include safety evaluation, human oversight and supply-chain liability, but none of that is an operative obligation today.

Wherever this lands, the question is the same
Do you know which AI-driven decisions in your organisation would be affected, and can you show your work. AI Operating Map's Decision Register already tracks who decided, what data it touches, and whether a person's in the loop, the foundation for answering any version of that question, in any country, whenever it's actually asked.
