The record identifies 'Government of Canada (ISED)' as a stakeholder in the AIDA policy. The source text confirms that the Government of Canada is indeed the primary stakeholder/actor behind AIDA, having tabled the legislation in June 2022.

The '(unknown)' notation in the record appears to indicate uncertainty about the specific department, which is appropriate given the source does not explicitly name ISED.
