Abstract
This survey of recent developments includes reports on amendments to the Canada Marine Act, in particular changes that afford port authorities greater access to financing and regulate their governance, allow for the detention of vessels and goods when enforcement officers believe the act or related regulations have been violated, and provide for administrative assessment of monetary penalties; to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, streamlining the process for permitting the obstruction of waterways on which navigation is non-existent or negligible; to the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act, extending its reach to 200 miles offshore; and to the Marine Liability Act, removing from its reach purveyors of marine adventures for tourists and those involved with sailing trainees and incorporating rules pertaining to liability for pollution damage from the Bunkers Convention and the Supplementary Fund Protocol. Among cases reported are R. v. Mersey Seafoods, in which the Court of Appeals of Nova Scotia held that the provincial Occupational Safety and Health Act could be enforced on a seagoing fishing vessel and against its owner; Allen v. Carnival Cruise Lines, in which the Ontario Court of Appeal held a choice of forum clause controlling for a Canadian passenger’s slip and fall case, and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines v. Mazda Canada Inc., in which the Federal Court of Appeal held a choice of forum clause insufficient to leave jurisdiction to Japan for claims by the shipper against the carrier after cargo was lost over the side en route to Canada; Saulnier v. Royal Bank of Canada, in which the Supreme Court of Canada determined that fishing licenses are property accessible pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act by a creditor with a general security agreement; Kent Trade and Finance Inc. v. JP Morgan Chase Bank, in which the Federal Court of Appeal applied US law to determine that claims by mortgagees were subordinate to those of foreign suppliers of necessaries to a foreign vessel; and Kotai v. Queen of the North, in which the British Columbia Supreme Court found a jury warranted for an action subject to the Athens Convention in which carrier recklessness was alleged by passengers.

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.
