# AI Consultation Deadlines Canada

> Every channel through which people in Canada can shape how AI is governed -- federal consultations, calls for briefs, Canada Gazette comment periods, funding calls, standards reviews and e-petitions -- each with a plain-language summary, why it matters for AI safety, and a concrete way to take part.

Built 2026-09-24. 26 items tracked: 12 open, 0 closing within 7 days, 14 retired. Curated by hand Mondays and Thursdays; every record carries a `verified` flag saying whether a person has checked its dates and links against the source page.

Status is derived, not asserted: `new` means opened or first seen within 14 days,
`closing soon` means the stated closing date is within 7 days, `retired` means past that
date or withdrawn. Always confirm a deadline on the official page before submitting.

## Live query

An MCP server exposes the same store as tools an agent can call directly -- `list_open`,
`closing_soon`, `list_new`, `search`, `get_item`, `list_topics`, `monitor_status` -- so an
assistant can answer "what is open right now" without fetching and re-parsing this site.
