AI policy in Quebec: municipal coverage, leaders & what's next

Quebec's Law 25 (formerly Bill 64) gives the province one of Canada's strongest data-protection regimes, and it directly shapes how municipalities deploy generative AI. Cities from Montreal to Laval to Gatineau are publishing acceptable-use directives that align with provincial privacy and AI obligations.

Frequently asked about AI policy in Quebec

Real questions journalists, councillors, and citizens ask us about AI governance in Quebec.

How does Quebec's Law 25 affect municipal AI use?

Law 25 requires public bodies — including municipalities — to assess privacy impacts before deploying any system that processes personal information, which captures most generative AI tools. Cities must also disclose automated decision-making and offer human review.

Which Quebec municipalities have published an AI policy?

Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, Gatineau, Longueuil and Sherbrooke are among the Quebec municipalities tracked here. Several publish bilingual (French + English) staff guidance and Privacy Impact Assessments tied to specific AI vendors.

Are AI policies in Quebec available in French?

Yes — under the Charter of the French Language, municipal policies must be available in French. Got AI Policy links to original-language sources and surfaces French content in our French interface.
