Alberta and Québec signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday that commits the two provinces to sharing AI resources and expertise. Alberta's minister of technology and innovation, Nate Glubish, and Québec's minister of cybersecurity and digital technology, France-Élaine Duranceau, signed the agreement. Québec's minister responsible for Canadian relations, Jean Boulet, also attended.
Under the deal, the provincial governments will share training materials, workforce development tools, and in some cases technical assets such as source code and documentation. A joint steering committee with representatives from both provinces will guide the development of a shared work plan and identify potential pilot projects. Each province will also share its AI strategies, policies, and governance approaches.
