Abstract
Assertions have been made about the immortality of public-sector organizations and the need for higher rates of termination of public-sector organizations. Research on the American federal government argued that such organizations had mortality rates lower than private-sector organizations. Better research demonstrated that the mortality of public-sector organizations has occurred at the highest rates observed in the private sector, where rates could be expected to be high because most organizations were very small. Mostly large public-sector organizations were examined in the U.S. – they should have had low mortality rates. What is the situation in Canada? How does Canadian survival of public-sector organizations compare to that in other sectors and other countries? This article compares the survival and mortality rates of Canadian public-sector organizations to those of the private sector and the non-profit sector. It also compares Canadian public-sector organizations to those in Ireland and the U.S., finding that Canadian federal organizations have not been immortal and that their mortality rates are among the highest detected. The pattern of Canadian public-sector organization terminations is punctuated equilibrium. Il y a eu nombre d'affirmations concernant l'immortalité des organisations du secteur public et le besoin d'avoir des taux plus élevés de fermeture de ces organisations. Des recherches entreprises sur le gouvernement fédéral américain ont montré que de telles organisations avaient des taux de mortalité inférieurs à ceux des organisations du secteur privé. Une recherche plus poussée a démontré que la mortalité des organisations du secteur public a atteint les taux les plus élevés observés dans le secteur privé, où l'on pouvait s'attendre à des taux élevés parce que la plupart des organisations étaient très petites. Les organisations gouvernementales qui ont été examinées aux États-Unis étaient essentiellement de grosses organisations et auraient dû avoir de faibles taux de mortalité. Quelle est la situation au Canada? Comment la survie des organisations canadiennes du secteur public se compare-t-elle à celle d'organisations dans d'autres secteurs et d'autres pays? Le présent article compare les taux de survie et de mortalité des organisations canadiennes du secteur public à ceux des organisations du secteur privé et du secteur à but non lucratif. Il compare également les organisations canadiennes du secteur public à celles de l'Irlande et des États-Unis, concluant que les organisations fédérales canadiennes ne sont pas immortelles et que leurs taux de mortalité sont parmi les plus élevés qui soient. Le mode de fermeture des organisations du secteur public au Canada est en équilibre intermittent.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
