Bill C-27 (Digital Charter Implementation Act)
Bill C-27 was the federal Digital Charter Implementation Act, a package containing the CPPA, a data-protection tribunal, and Canada’s first AI law (AIDA); it died at the January 2025 prorogation.
Bill C-27, the *Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022*, was an omnibus federal bill with three parts: the Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA), the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act, and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA).
Introduced in June 2022, it aimed to modernize Canada’s private-sector privacy regime and establish the country’s first framework for regulating high-impact AI systems. It reached committee study but was not passed into law.
When Parliament was prorogued in January 2025, all bills on the Order Paper — including C-27 — died. Any revival would require a new bill to be introduced in a future session.
