The federal government’s new AI for All strategy provides a clear framework to position Canada as a global leader in responsible, safe, and sovereign AI.
It’s bold – backed by more than $2 billion in investments, with a workforce target of creating up to 250,000 new jobs, and a coordinated approach to increase AI adoption in all areas of the economy. Canada’s AI opportunity is, fundamentally, a skills story, writes @CollegeCan President and CEO @JohnstonPari.

Great to see this continuing investment. The @NSERC_CRSNG team will deliver this funding on behalf of the tri-council.
We welcome today’s federal investments, including $165M for college‑led applied research through the College and Community Innovation program and the launch of Team Canada Strong to build the skilled trades workforce Canada urgently needs.
Every year, colleges and institutes lead more than 8,500 applied research projects, delivering the economic and social solutions Canada needs most, from housing and energy to defence, health care, and productivity.
We are delighted to see a strong focus on the next generation of skilled tradespeople. Canada’s pan‑Canadian network of colleges and institutes will be core partners in training the people who will deliver prosperity across the country.
Colleges, institutes, CEGEPs, polytechnics, and Indigenous Institutes of Education are central to supporting Canada’s national missions, turning ambition into real outcomes for communities, learners, and employers.

"The government has placed a big bet on the nation-building ambition of the Projects of National Interest (PONIs). The new @Major Projects Office will accelerate permitting, regulatory approvals and financing for the PONIs, but the 'people strategy' to deliver them is not in the MPO mandate. The stark reality is that these big projects will not get off the ground without a skilled and ready workforce and an aligned talent pipeline," writes @CollegeCan President and CEO @JohnstonPari.
"Delivering on the promise of the PONIs isn’t just a numbers game — it’s about addressing structural gaps in Canada’s talent plan. That’s where colleges and institutes come in. They are not just responsive training providers, but serve as regional hubs for workforce coordination, support learner success and completion, and actively engage employers in industry-aligned training pathways."
