Three things to look for in the new data management policy under development by the Tri-Agency:

  1. Institutions will be required to have a data management strategy and to post that strategy publicly.
  2. Grantees will be required to create a data management plan for funded projects. Grantees will likely need to submit that plan to the research office to access funding.
  3. There will be an expectation that data and code are to be deposited in a public repository. Safe storage will be a requirement.

The Tri-Agency launched its consultation at the Canadian Association of Research Administrators' ("CARA") conference in Winnipeg in May, 2017. Consultations are happening over the coming months and into the summer. Online consultation is expected in the summer with a draft policy to be posted on the website – science.gc.ca.

Canada’s New AI For All Strategy: A Business Outlook On AI Governance, Adoption, And Data Sovereignty

Canada's AI for All strategy abandons the proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act in favor of a distributed governance model combining targeted legal reform, public investment, and existing frameworks. This shift creates immediate compliance implications for Canadian businesses operating across privacy law, human rights legislation, and sector-specific regulation, while positioning the country between the EU's prescriptive approach and the U.S.'s deregulatory stance.
