Abstract
Taking the breakdown of the standard employment relationship (SER), which has been the lynchpin of labour market regulation in Canada since the Second World War, and the feminization of employment as its starting points, this article examines policy options for reregulating the Canadian labour market. It is divided into three parts. The first identifies the core challenge as developing a new norm of employment (based on a new gender contract) and new forms of labour regulation that reduce, rather than heighten, polarization and contribute to, instead of undermining, social solidarity and productivity. The second part proposes principles for reregulating the employment relationship that are attentive to this objective and addresses three key policy issues: the legal norm of employment, the basis for distributing entitlements and collective representation. The third part emphasizes the significance of the gender contract for understanding the role and limitations of labour law, legislation and policy and argues that gender equity must be a fundamental principle in policy design. The article concludes by acknowledging the political challenges that must be confronted before Canadian labour markets can be effectively regulated.

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 it
