What's Inside

The research no one else is compiling for Atlantic boards

SPG Research Group has been running weekly intelligence sweeps across 12+ signal tracks since early 2026. The Landscape Report assembles that research into a single, board-ready reference document.

Chapter 1

The Regulatory Baseline

Treasury Board's ADM Directive, the AI for All national strategy, and what federal enforcement activity means for provincial Crown corporations and health authorities that aren't directly bound but are functionally exposed.

Chapter 2

Board Governance: Where Atlantic Organizations Stand

Sector-by-sector mapping of AI oversight maturity across health authorities, Crown corporations, post-secondary institutions, and regulated industries. What the audit findings reveal about the gap between stated strategy and actual board oversight.

Chapter 3

Sector Intelligence: Health, Ocean, Defence, Energy

The Vital health data platform across four provinces. Ocean Supercluster maritime-autonomy projects. DIANA Halifax and defence AI procurement. The C-NLOER expanded mandate covering both offshore hydrocarbons and renewables. Governance questions each sector raises that boards have not answered.

Chapter 4

The Liability Landscape

D&O exposure, AI exclusions entering commercial liability policies, and the litigation pattern boards need to understand before the next renewal cycle. Why plaintiffs' counsel does not need to prove the AI failed: only that the board failed to govern it.

Chapter 5

Competitive Benchmarks: The Big Four and Beyond

How PwC, KPMG, EY, and Deloitte's diverging governance philosophies signal that there is no consensus model to import. What that means for Atlantic boards building their own frameworks in 2026.

Chapter 6

The 2027 Readiness Agenda

A structured framework for boards: the three questions that determine whether you are ahead of or behind the governance cycle, and the board-level actions that separate defensible oversight from deferred risk.
