Jurisdiction

Canada

Canada governs AI through privacy law, sectoral rules and voluntary codes rather than a single federal AI statute currently in force.

Policy approach

Current structure

Federal privacy statutes, provincial regimes such as Quebec Law 25, and sector supervisors supply most binding duties while national AI strategy work continues.

Policy questions

Institutional design

Should sector regulators own AI rules instead of a horizontal act?

The UK white paper and Singapore’s Model Framework both privilege existing regulators or voluntary tools over an early omnibus AI Act.
