Canadian Digital Regulators Forum hosting interactive workshop

May 11, 2026— Gatineau—Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)

The Canadian Digital Regulators Forum (CDRF) is bringing together stakeholders to discuss regulatory perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI).

The CDRF is a partnership between the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the Competition Bureau, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Copyright Board of Canada. It was established in June 2023 to strengthen information sharing and collaboration on matters that relate to digital markets and platforms within its members’ mandates.

With the increasing use of AI across sectors, the CDRF is facilitating a discussion with stakeholders on competition, privacy and copyright law, and telecommunications and broadcasting regulation.

The workshop will take place on May 21, 2026, from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm (EDT).
