BizPaL is an online tool that helps businesses find the permits and licences they need from federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments. The system uses machine learning to classify and match regulatory requirements, and generative AI to produce simplified summaries of permits and licences — which are reviewed by human editors before publication. No personal information about users is collected or processed.
