FACT — official development
The 2026-09-11 What We Heard consultation report records feedback on the MVP AI Register. Treasury Board says it will use the feedback to develop an improved version replacing the MVP and updated regularly. The report is a non-binding public-service transparency implementation signal, not private-sector AI legislation.
INTERPRETATION — governance relationship
This development should be read within the existing Canada governance architecture. Its legal force is public-sector transparency implementation / consultation report — non-binding; the Observatory does not infer broader obligations from its title.
IMPLICATION — enterprise relevance
Use as a reference for AI inventories and disclosure; retain the federal public-service scope.
