'A Great Stride Forward': The Post-Discharge Re-establishment Order (PC 7633) of 1 October 1941
Bibliographic record
Abstract
More than a million Canadians enlisted during the Second World War, and soon after September 1939 Ottawa was confronted with the first members of a new generation of veterans. A cabinet committee on demobilisation and rehabilitation was formed in December 1939 and, on 1 October 1941, 'The Post-Discharge Re-establishment Order' (PC 7633) was issued. This provided out-of-work and training benefits and extended the country's new unemployment insurance scheme to those who served. The principal architects of PC 7633, though veterans of the Great War, rejected the approach to demobilisation favoured by the Canadian Legion, which wanted those for whom work was not available kept in uniform, on the government payroll, until jobs could be found for them. PC 7633 gave the government the high ground in the evolving wartime debate over veterans' affairs and laid the foundation for the set of benefits known from 1945 as the Veterans Charter.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
