The federal government is inviting feedback on improving artificial intelligence transparency in line with Canada’s AI for All national strategy.
The consultation will focus on the following aspects:
- Flagging AI-generated content
- Helping people distinguish interactions with AI systems
- Boosting access to consistent, clear AI system information, such as system development, capabilities, and limitations
- Facilitating the monitoring of significant AI system-related incidents
- Improving the tracking of AI agents’ activities and interactions
The feedback window opened to Canadians and Canada residents on July 23. The government urged businesses, researchers, civil society organizations, First Nations, Inuit and Métis groups, and other stakeholders to provide input.
The government has published a discussion paper to which interested parties may refer. The consultation period ends on September 23.
“AI adoption moves at the speed of trust. Canadians need to know when they are interacting with AI systems, when content has been generated or altered by AI, and what these systems can and cannot do,” said Evan Solomon, minister of artificial intelligence and digital innovation, in a statement. “Through AI for All, we are building a Canadian approach that protects people, creates opportunity and strengthens our sovereign control over this defining technology. This consultation will help ensure Canadians have a voice in shaping practical and effective transparency measures.”
Ai has increasingly been used in goods production and service delivery throughout the second quarter of 2026, per Statistics Canada. Moreover, AI-generated content has flooded digital spaces, complicating the differentiation of real from synthetic output; meanwhile, consumer-facing products employing agentic AI enable AI systems to act for a user beyond just sharing information and advice.
A KPMG report released in May noted that Canadian business leaders are prioritizing agentic AI as they seek to transition to an agentic AI-human workforce. Per KPMG, agentic AI forms a key aspect of Canadian executives’ strategy to spur operational efficiency.
This year, the government has introduced a slew of AI-centered measures. Last month, it rolled out the AI for All strategy, which was met with positive responses from chambers of commerce; it also introduced Bill C-36, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, and Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act.
