Canadian AI Safety Institute — Total Funding Raised: C$50 million
The source text explicitly states in the 'Quick facts' section that 'The Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (CAISI) will have an initial budget of $50 million over five years.' This directly confirms the claim's exact stored value of 50,000,000 (C$50M). The source also confirms this is part of Budget 2024's broader $2.4B AI investment, as mentioned in the main body of the announcement. The date of the source (November 12, 2024) aligns with the claim's 'as of 2024-11' timestamp.

NoteWhile the source confirms that CAISI was launched and is part of Canada's $2.4B AI investment from Budget 2024, it does not explicitly state that CAISI received C$50M in funding or that this amount was pledged over five years. The source only identifies CAISI as 'one component' of the broader investment without breaking down the specific allocation to the institute itself. The claim's specific funding figure cannot be verified from this source text.
