Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The division of legislative powers in the Constitution Act, 1867 is the most important textual expression of the federal principle that is at the heart of the Canadian constitutional order. The judiciary has the responsibility of interpreting these provisions and thus of determining the boundaries of the law-making powers of Canadian legislative bodies. In performing this high-stakes task, the courts have developed a rich jurisprudence that draws on text, history, structure, and principle. In recent decades, the Supreme Court has articulated a “modern” or “co-operative” approach that interprets both federal and provincial legislative powers generously, and tolerates a high degree of overlap and interplay between them. Despite this commitment to maximizing the democratic space available to all Canadian legislatures within their respective areas of jurisdiction, some doctrines developed by the courts have had asymmetric effects that favour the federal Parliament.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
