- Prime Minister Mark Carney launched “AI for All,” Canada’s national AI strategy, on June 4, 2026, in Toronto.
- The five-year plan aims to drive $200 billion in economic growth.
- It targets the creation of 250,000 new AI-related jobs and seeks to increase AI business adoption from 12% to 60% by 2034.
- The strategy commits more than $2.3 billion in funding, including significant increases for the AI Compute Access Fund and the Regional AI Initiative.
- It is underpinned by three guiding principles: building trust, creating opportunity, and reinforcing sovereignty.
- The plan includes new privacy and online-safety legislation.
- While pledging jobs and growth, the strategy is noted as lacking concrete details on AI-safety enforcement.
