  • The strategy allocates billions for equity stakes and compute power, not direct purchases from Canadian vendors.
  • The author argues that government should buy openly from Canadian firms, not take equity stakes or rely on certification programs.
  • The choice to start with health, a slow-procuring sector, undermines the goal of proving public AI buying works.
