Launched November 2025 by the Treasury Board Secretariat, Canada's AI Register publicly lists AI systems across federal institutions — consolidating impact assessments and service inventories into one dataset covering 42 institutions and 400+ systems.
The Government of Canada AI Register is an Open Government Portal dataset launched as a Minimum Viable Product on 28 November 2025 by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat's Office of the Chief Information Officer, consolidating pre-existing federal transparency instruments -- Algorithmic Impact Assessments, Access to Information records, Parliamentary Question responses, Personal Information Banks and the GC Service Inventory -- into a single public register of AI systems.
At launch it drew input from 42 federal institutions and listed over 400 systems, ranging from uses first documented in 1994 to systems piloted in 2025; it excludes low-risk embedded commercial AI such as spell-checkers.
The department is explicit this is an early-stage release: it acknowledges that 'not all entries are complete, and formatting may vary,' and has scheduled public consultations through 2026 to refine the register before moving to regular departmental updates -- so its long-term completeness and update cadence are not yet proven.
