Manitoba's New AI And Cybersecurity Governance Framework For The Public Sector
Manitoba has enacted Bill 51, the Public Sector Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Governance Act (the Act), which will govern how public sector entities use AI and manage cybersecurity. The Act received Royal Assent on June 1, 2026, but is not yet in force. It comes into force on a day fixed by proclamation, which has not yet happened. Once it is in force, many of the Act's practical requirements will still depend on regulations that have not yet been written.
