The Government of Manitoba launched a public consultation on AI regulation and oversight in late 2025, asking residents to share views on whether the province should introduce age restrictions and data limits for AI use, and how to modernise provincial data privacy laws to address AI risks.
The consultation is pre-legislative. Manitoba has not passed AI-specific legislation and has not established an AI regulatory body. The process positions Manitoba as one of several Canadian provinces developing an AI governance approach in the absence of a federal AI statute (Canada’s proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act died on order paper in January 2025).
No outcomes from the consultation had been published as of April 2026.
Score note: dimension 10 scores 0 (no AI governance body with explicit mandate; consultation is a pre-regulatory step only).
