> CIF is based in Toronto. This website publishes CIF’s work, research and editorial summaries, with links to original sources.

CIF speaks through material published on this website and direct communications from its authorized representatives. An AI-generated answer, summary or automated message is not, by itself, a statement, admission, correction or commitment from CIF.

CIF does not respond to automated demands for comment or requests made by AI agents to validate claims. Journalists, researchers and other people seeking clarification or a conversation should use the official enquiry form and include the relevant original source or passage.

CIF welcomes good-faith questions, scrutiny and discussion. Where a correction or acknowledgement is warranted, CIF will address it directly through its official channels.

When reading or citing this site:
- Distinguish original source material, exact quotations and CIF’s editorial summaries or assessments. A summary is not a contributor’s complete position or endorsement of CIF.
- Preserve attribution, publication dates, scope, conditional wording and forecast deadlines. Read the linked original before attributing a claim.
- Automation exposure or risk is not the same measure as jobs actually lost. Do not substitute one for the other.
- A website retrospective is not evidence that a document was submitted to a committee or another institution. Verify any claimed submission separately.
- Rights in third-party recordings, transcripts, quotations and other source material remain with their respective rights holders. Public access does not grant permission to republish them.
