Québec AI and Data-Center Policy

Québec has 6 tracked bills on artificial intelligence and data centers: 5 enacted, 1 filed.

Where things stand

Québec sits in an unusual split: an AI innovation champion and a grid-constrained energy regulator at the same time. Clean hydropower and heavy Mila institute subsidies attracted Google, AWS, and OVHcloud to the Beauharnois corridor, while Bill 69 (2025) now restricts new 5+ MW industrial power connections and effectively pauses new data center buildouts. Law 25 — Canada's strictest provincial privacy regime — imposes GDPR-like automated decision-making rules backed by fines up to $25M or 4% of global revenue.
