Cabinet Action and the CRTC: An Examination of Section 23 of the Broadcasting Act
Bibliographic record
Abstract
L'article 23 de la Loi sur la radiodiffusion prévoit que le gouverneur en conseil peut annuler ou renvoyer au Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes, pour un nouvel examen ou une nouvelle audition, l’attribution, la modification ou le renouvellement de toute licence de radiodiffusion. Cette disposition manque de précision et la procédure suivie par le Cabinet reste obscure. En effet l'on ne sait trop si des parties intéressées peuvent s'adresser au Cabinet, ou si leur demande l'atteindra effectivement. Cet article analyse la législation pertinente, les situations dans lesquelles le Cabinet est intervenu (quelques-unes dans lesquelles il s'est abstenu), et les mécanismes de la procédure. Cette dernière partie est basée sur des interviews menées auprès de personnes participant à cette procédure, et elle en démontre le caractère possiblement inéquitable. L'auteur conclut que le pouvoir de révision du Cabinet devrait être maintenu mais que sa mise en oeuvre devrait être orientée par des normes.

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.
