Editorial summary

ISED-published overview of the proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (part of Bill C-27) setting out Canada's intended risk-based framework for high-impact AI systems. Bill C-27 lapsed when Parliament was prorogued in early 2025.

Why this matters

Canada tried to pass a national AI law and did not finish the job. The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act was the federal framework tucked inside Bill C-27, but the bill lapsed when Parliament was prorogued in early 2025. This companion document is still the clearest official description of what the Canadian government intended for high-impact AI systems, and it is the text that industry, civil society, and provinces keep returning to as the baseline for any future effort. Reading it helps you track which pieces are likely to return in the next Parliament and which were quietly dropped.
