Canada AIDA + provincial (Ontario Bill 194, Québec Law 25)
Canada's proposed AIDA plus in-force provincial laws.
Canada's federal Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA, part of Bill C-27) proposed obligations for 'high-impact' AI systems — risk assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and transparency — but did not become law in its original session. Meanwhile provincial rules apply, including Ontario's Bill 194 for public-sector AI and Québec's Law 25, which requires transparency for automated decision-making.
Who it applies to
Canadian organizations deploying AI; provincial requirements (Québec, Ontario) apply today while federal law evolves.
Key obligations
- Assess and mitigate risk for high-impact AI (proposed federally)
- Provide automated-decision transparency (Québec Law 25)
- Meet public-sector AI requirements (Ontario Bill 194)
- Monitor systems and keep records
How Maetra maps agents to Canada AIDA
Maetra maintains the inventory, transparency evidence, and audit trail that satisfy Québec and Ontario requirements today and position teams for federal AIDA-style obligations.
In practice, Maetra:
- Scans and fingerprints each agent. Discover reads the agent’s code — its tools, data access and sensitivity, actions, model, and environment — into an evidence-backed profile tied to the exact file and commit.
- Decides what applies. That profile determines whether Canada AIDA is in scope for the agent and which of its requirements apply.
- Auto-detects controls and surfaces gaps. Controls your code already satisfies are detected automatically from the scan; the rest become a clear list of gaps, each tied to the requirement and the evidence it still needs.
- Proves it and keeps it current. Close gaps with linked evidence or generated documents — reused across every framework the same control supports — and Maetra re-checks on each rescan and flags evidence that has gone stale.
