Summary

KPMG Canada found that 76 per cent of public servants surveyed say their organisations’ purchasing policies favour Canadian AI products where possible. The survey of 519 federal, provincial and municipal employees, conducted from July 29 to August 26, 2026, also found that 66 per cent use AI, up from 48 per cent the previous year. Nearly nine in 10 respondents want comprehensive AI rules and are concerned about protecting citizens’ personal information.
