Regulators and administrative tribunals make many important decisions in Canada. They oversee areas like energy, nuclear safety, telecommunications, and professional regulation for engineers, lawyers, and medical professions.
A common question is how independent these bodies are from government. This matters more now in energy regulation because of climate change and net zero goals. It also matters in professional regulation because of concerns about what regulated professionals can say in public. Alberta’s recent steps to protect freedom of expression for regulated professionals raise clear questions about when a regulator can step in, and when it must step back. In this webinar, we will focus closely on how adjudicative decisions are protected from outside influence. We will look at where policy direction ends, and decision-making must remain independent. The goal is to help decision-makers understand how to preserve tribunal autonomy while still applying government policy in a clear, fair, and workable way.

In Part 2, Jason shifts from the foundations of AI to action. He will walk through how administrative tribunals can use AI agents to support everyday work. These are tools that can carry out defined tasks, follow rules, and assist staff without replacing human judgment.
Jason will show, step by step, how AI agents can be set up to help with common tribunal needs. This includes summarizing large records, organizing evidence, drafting neutral outlines, and supporting consistency across decisions. Each example is grounded in realistic tribunal scenarios, such as preparing for a hearing or managing a growing caseload. The focus stays on control and accountability. Jason will explain how to limit what an agent can access, how to set clear instructions, and how to keep humans firmly in the decision-making role. He will also flag risks and common mistakes, so tribunals understand where these tools help and where they should not be used.By the end of the session, participants will have a clear picture of how AI agents can fit into tribunal operations in a careful and responsible way. The goal is not automation for its own sake, but practical support for fair and efficient administrative justice.
