Abstract
This paper purports to examine whether provincially incorporated corporations are immune from federal laws affecting their status and essential powers. Federal corporations enjoy such an immunity in respect to provincial laws. After considering the nature of the provincial power of incorporation, we focus on the basis of the status and essential powers immunity. Federal immunity is either founded on the paramountcy and the inoperability of the law or on the exclusiveness and the inapplicability of the law (reading-down doctrine). The latter hypothesis would allow provincial companies to benefit from an immunity analogous to the one recognized for federal companies. Furthermore, such an immunity will render certain, but not all, federal laws inapplicable to provincial corporations. A distinction must be drawn between a law pertaining to provincial corporate matters and a law regulating business activities. In the latter case, the provincial corporation must observe this law since it does not impair its status and essential powers.

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.
