Trust Study 2
Trust Study 2 will be running soon. The methodology of the study builds on what we learnt in Trust Study 1, where we learned about trust of the elements of the Canada.ca brand. Trust study 2 is continuing that work with one question related to the brand design (H1) but most of the study is about trust of AI. We've been working with the TBS AI policy team on the AI transparency issue- how to convey when images or content have been created with AI, and whether that transparency impacts overall trust of Canada.ca.
In addition, we're working with a collaborative x-department team on guidance and experimentation for future AI chat applications on Canada.ca. A number of the questions are geared to help us make decisions on those issues.
AB test
Moving ahead with A/B test #2: Shortening Canada.ca home page. Will share date of test as well as results once we have them.

Infrastructure update
We have received Royal Assent to change our name from Infrastructure Canada to Housing Infrastructure and Communities Canada. Our new acronym is HICC in English and LICC in French. We would like it to be pronounced as H-I-C-C and L-I-C-C.
We are implementing a new URL and a new home page. Our new URLs areː
We need to change any mentions of our old name on the web, so if you have some on your departmental websites we’d appreciate it if you change it. Feel free to reach out to ruthanne.noel@infc.gc.ca. if your department has a mention of Infrastructure Canada that requires updating.
Roundtable
IRCC is moving along with the launch of our form download pages and we'll be looking into implementing the contextual sign-in button now that our sign in wizard is fully launched and performing well
ISED is working on an AI subtopic to go under Science and Innovation > R&D and innovation. They are looking to build an inventory of everything AI. Almost 9,000 references to AI on Canada.ca. We’re trying to figure out how deep we’re going to go then build an inventory, etc. Please reach out if you have AI content you want to talk about: christopher.colyer@ised-isde.gc.ca.
Public Safety theme - I will share the direct link to the S211 Forced Labour in Supply Chains Act reports in the PS Library: Library Catalogue - Search Results (publicsafety.gc.ca). Not sure if any GC reports have been added to the list yet.
