Abstract
When called upon, to ascertain the ambit of the application of section 96 of the B.N.A. Act (1867), our courts have devised a method of reasoning by historical analogy between different types of jurisdictions. In Tomko v. Labour Relations Board (N.S.) and al., the Supreme Court was given the opportunity to make a clear synthesis of the principles underlying such an approach. Although the Court's decision makes no innovations in this respect, it establishes clear guidelines to be followed by the judiciary when it shall next be called upon to pronounce itself on the constitutionnality of the conferral of jurisdiction upon inferior tribunals or provincial administrative organisms in the light of section 96. The Supreme Court is now hearing the appeal in P.g. du Québec et Tribunal des Transports v. Farrah. In that case, the Court of Appeal held that when the Transport Tribunal hears an appeal from the Transport Commission on questions of law only, it exercises a jurisdiction which is analogous to the superintending power of the Superior Court. The Court of appeal therefore considered that the judges of the Transport Tribunal fall under the application of section 96. If the Supreme Court were to confirm the appeal tribunal's decisions it most probably would also have to examin the constitutionnality of certain "privative" clauses; if it were to refuse to adopt the Court of appeal's view, it would render possible the establishment of an administrative appeal court whose judges would be nominated by the Province.

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.
