Help Shape Canada's AI Strategy for 2026-2030

Official title: Artificial Intelligence Strategy

Closed Policy & Studies Economy & Jobs Education Technology & Digital
Canada helped invent modern AI. Now the government wants to know how to stay a leader. This 30-day sprint asked founders, researchers, workers, students, and everyday Canadians where to focus next—from scaling homegrown AI companies to building public trust in the technology.

Why This Matters

AI is already changing how you work, shop, and get healthcare. This strategy will shape whether Canada leads or follows in the AI economy. It affects job opportunities, privacy protections, and whether Canadian companies can compete globally. Students and workers need to know what skills will matter.

What Could Change

A new AI strategy will be released by end of 2025. It could direct billions in research funding, set rules for AI safety, and determine how governments use AI in public services. New training programs may emerge. Canadian AI companies could get more support to scale globally.

Key Issues

  • How should Canada accelerate safe AI adoption across the economy and public services?
  • How can Canada scale homegrown AI companies and attract more investment?
  • How should Canada strengthen sovereign infrastructure—compute, data, and cloud?
  • How can Canada build public trust, skills, and safety around AI?

How to Participate

  1. Review the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy and Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy for background.
  2. This consultation is now closed. The government will review submissions and publish highlights before releasing a new strategy by end of 2025.
