# SI safety in Canada

Canada has no federal SI statute. The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act died when Parliament was prorogued on January 6, 2025, and no successor bill had been tabled as of late September 2026, leaving a 2023 voluntary code of conduct and the Canadian AI Safety Institute, launched in November 2024, as the main federal tools.
