Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter argues that Canada’s national security activities have significantly outpaced its infrastructure of intelligence oversight and review. These growing accountability gaps risk compromising human rights, national security, and Canada’s international stature. The gaps originate, in many respects, in Canada’s limited system of legislative review of intelligence activities that does not give legislators access to secret information. Canadian courts and public inquiries have partially have stepped into this voId. Although all three branches are necessary for intelligence oversight, executive watchdog review should play the most important part. The chapter concludes by proposing that Canada’s future oversight and review processes should expand the role of institutions such as the Security Intelligence Review Committee so that it has a whole of government mandate. The chapter also explores the possibility of transnational oversight structures.

Not 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.
