In June 2026, the Government of Canada launched AI for All, Canada’s national artificial intelligence strategy. It is a plan to move Canada from invention to impact by building the trust Canadians need, expanding opportunity for workers, students and businesses, and strengthening Canada’s ability to control its own technological future.

On September 25, join The Empire Club of Canada for an address by the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation.

Three months after the launch of AI for All, Minister Solomon will discuss how the government is translating the strategy into action: helping Canadian businesses adopt AI, equipping people with the skills and access they need, protecting Canadians and building public trust, and strengthening the talent, infrastructure and domestic capabilities Canada needs to compete.

As countries race to harness the potential of AI, Canada faces a fundamental choice: whether to be primarily a consumer of technologies built elsewhere, or a country that builds, adopts and shapes AI on its own terms.

This conversation will examine the progress underway, the choices ahead and what it will take to make AI for All real for Canadians.  

On  September 25th, please join the Empire Club of Canada for a keynote by The Honourable Evan Solomon entitled AI for All: Building Canada’s AI Future. This will be followed by a fireside chat moderated by Sean Speer, Co-Founder and Editor-at-Large of the Hub
