Germany and Canada have a joint agreement involving 300 million Canadian dollars invested in LawZero to develop AI based on verifiable facts.

Omissions

• The figure is a ceiling ('up to CAD $300 million'), not a fixed sum: the official Canadian government release states Canada and Germany are 'planning to invest CAD 150 million and EUR 100 million, respectively'.
• It is a joint funding announcement / commitment by two governments to a private non-profit, not a bilateral 'Vertrag' (treaty or contract) between Germany and Canada as the MEP framed it.
• The money is a pledged commitment; no source confirms disbursement of the full amount, and the German share is denominated in euros (EUR 100 million), not Canadian dollars.
• Sources were published in September 2026, i.e. before the 22 October 2026 session date, so the MEP could have known them.
