August 2023 Update: IBM
By: Kyle Wyndham-West, PhD Student (McMaster University)
In August IBM engaged in two communications with the Registry of Lobbyists on the topics of “Science and Technology”. The same month, IBM publicly discussed the need for workplace adjustments in the wake of the current and coming wave of artificial intelligence applications.Specifically, these conversations circled how generative AI will interfere with traditional workers and day-to-day tasks. As well in August, IBM sold their weather network affiliates and services to a private equity firm..

July 2023 Update: IBM
By: Brad McNeil, PhD Candidate (McMaster University)
In July 2023, IBM registered only two lobbying communication reports with the Registry of Lobbyists. Both were on the topic “science and technology.” As noted in previous IBM monthly blog posts, IBM actively lobbies about Bill C-27, the Digital Charter Implementation Act –“specifically those provisions that apply to data protection.” As noted last month, Bill C-27 also aims to introduce “new rules to strengthen Canadian’s trust in the development and deployment of AI systems.” This month, Dave McCann, President of IBM Canada spoke on IBM’s new AI and data platform tailored to corporate use. McCann, along with IBM Canada’s general manager, Frank Attaie, noted that AI for corporations must involve the “removal of any and all biases in a very auditable fashion down to the base code, and then raising the right risk, regulatory, and ethical standards.” It is possible that IBM is lobbying about Bill C-27 as the corporation continues to roll out it’s new Watsonx AI and data platform.

June 2023 Update: IBM
By: Brad McNeil, PhD Candidate (McMaster University)
In June 2023, IBM logged only two communications reports with the Registry of Lobbyists. Both meetings were on the topic “science and technology”.
In late June IBM took over the software company Apptio for $4.6 billion. Deb Pimentel, Vice President of Data, AI and automation at IBM Canada notes that “Businesses are transitioning to an AI-first mentality. We have the opportunity to fundamentally reimagine how work gets done.” As Canada and other countries look to regulate how AI is implemented across industries, IBM ensures that the company follows “ethical practices and design principles that augment people, not replace them, so we’re looking to free them up to do much more interesting work.” In early May 2023, IBM released Watsonx, a new AI platform designed to make businesses more efficient. Anticipating the loss of jobs caused by such technologies that make human workers redundant, Dave McCann, President of IBM Canada, points to IBM SkillsBuild, which aims to prepare workers “for jobs in fields like cybersecurity, data analytics, software engineering and information technology before the era of AI fully ushers in.” McCann notes that IBM SkillsBuild will “provide an estimated 35,000 Canadians with skills that will allow them to participate in a rapidly evolving job economy, and better protect them from imminent layoffs.”
While Pimentel speaks of the AI-first mentality of industry which IBM seeks to support with its technologies, McCann, speaks of IBM’s “human-first approach.” This shift in the marketplace presents a big re-skilling opportunity, one that we are moving toward with a thoughtful, human-first approach.”
As IBM rolls out their Industry AI program WatsonX, it is possible that they are lobbying about Bill C-27 the Digital Charter Implementation Act (2022) which aims to introduce “new rules to strengthen Canadian’s trust in the development and deployment of AI systems.”

May 2023 Update: IBM
By: Brad McNeil, PhD Candidate (McMaster University)
In May 2023, IBM logged two communications reports both on the topic “science and technology”. On May 31, President of IBM Canada, Dave McCann wrote a guest essay in the Globe and Mail on Canada’s current technology skills gap which he argues will be “a significant challenge across many industries” if left unaddressed. McCann notes, “Canadian organizations must invest in building a workforce with the skills needed for a digital economy if the country is to remain competitive globally.” Although IBM did not lobby specifically about industry this month, it is possible that their lobbying this month was related to McCann’s expressed concerns. IBM has led initiatives to support tech skills education in Canada. In 2019, it launched a tuition-free tech program in conjunction with Six Nations Polytechnic in Brantford Ontario. IBM’s registry of lobbyist profile notes that they communicate with “government officials about Canada’s Digital Economy Strategy… providing recommendations to the Government of Canada on how to encourage global investment in jobs and innovation in Canada.”

March and April 2023 Lobbying Update: IBM
By: Brad McNeil, PhD Candidate (McMaster University)
This brief blog post examines IBM’s lobbying activities through communication reports through the months of March and April 2023. Additionally, this post lists all government contracts IBM signed through the same period.
The previous Tech Lobby monthly update on IBM for January and February 2023, noted that IBM’s lobbying focus for that period was on the topic of “science and technology” and was likely related to the production of semiconductors in Canada. In March and April 2023, IBM continued to lobby on the topic of “science and technology”. In March 2023, IBM registered one communication report on the 29th with a policy advisor at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). For April 2023, IBM registered three communication reports presented in the charts below. All communications reports indicate that IBM continues to lobby about science and technology. IBM’s registry of lobbyists profile reveals that the company is focussed on promoting innovation in Canada and increasing usage and “investment in innovative technologies such as Cloud computing and software analytics”.
As reported in a previous blog post on IBM’s recent lobbying activities, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau announced an agreement on March 23, 2023 regarding the production of semiconductors. IBM also signed on this agreement to “develop semiconductor capacity and ease reliance on foreign makers”. On March 23, 2023, Trudeau stated: “With growing competition, including from an increasingly assertive China, there’s no doubt why it matters that we turn to each other now to build up a North American market on everything from semiconductors to solar panel batteries”. IBM Canada is key to the success of the new agreements. As the White House noted, “Both countries will advance a cross-border packaging corridor, beginning with Canada and IBM providing a significant investment to develop new and expanded packaging and testing capabilities at its Bromont [Quebec] facility.”
The following charts provide IBM’s lobbying communications reported in March and April 2023.

January and February 2023 Lobbying Update: IBM
By: Brad McNeil, PhD Candidate (McMaster University)
This brief blog post presents IBM’s lobbying communication reports through the months of January and February 2023. As noted in an earlier company profile blog post featuring IBM, the lobbying practices of IBM Canada have not received as much journalistic attention as other large tech companies like Uber, Netflix, and Google. This blog post uses news articles to and information from IBM’s Registry of Lobbyists profile. In January and February 2023, IBM logged a total of five communications reports with various government officials. Each communication report was about “science and technology.” IBM’s profile with the Registry of Lobbyists notes that the company communicates “with government officials about the Strategic Innovation Fund (“SIF”), more specifically funding for innovation.” The SIF “provides major investments in innovative projects that will help grow Canada’s economy for the well-being of all Canadians.” The fund is developed to support “research, development, and commercialization of new products and services” and to attract new investments to Canada that will create jobs, as well as “public-private partnerships to develop and demonstrate new technologies.” IBM’s January and February 2023 lobbying communications may have been about the recent passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, a Canada-US agreement “to facilitate investment to promote secure and resilient semiconductor supply chains, creating jobs in both countries.” Charles Manel reported that IBM and that Canadian government agreed to a “significant investment to develop new and expanded packaging and testing capabilities at its Bromont facility.” This development will allow Canada to contribute to the development of semiconductors and printed circuit boards in North America.
