"Today we are announcing the most important commitment in Microsoft Canada’s history. We’re adding to our investments—with a total of $19 billion CAD between 2023 and 2027, including more than $7.5 billion CAD in the next two years," the company said. As part of its pledge “to keep Canadian data on Canadian soil,” Microsoft said it will offer in-country data processing for interactions Canadians have with its AI companion Copilot. The announcement also included a pledge to keep Canadian data encrypted and isolated and support the growth of Canada-based AI developers. It added that it would ensure uninterrupted operation of cloud services for the Canadian government. “If ever confronted with an order to suspend or halt operations in Canada, we will pursue every available legal and diplomatic avenue—including litigation—to protect access to critical infrastructure,” Microsoft Canada said in the statement.
