Abstract
This policy commentary critically reviews Canada's National Quantum Strategy (NQS) to evaluate whether it integrates a values approach to mitigate any potential regional, national, and global disparities as part of a responsible quantum approach. Our analysis reveals that Canada's quantum strategy focuses on fostering the identification, development, and commercialization of technologies for economic gain at national, regional, and international levels. Both provincial and federal governments actively collaborate with research institutions and businesses within four distinct research and innovation hubs to establish “quantum zones” as emerging paradiplomatic actors. Internationally, Canada is positioning itself as a leader in quantum technology through grants, research and development partnerships, and country-specific Trade Missions with like-minded states. This commentary highlights the need to embed values, such as sustainability and equitability, into the development and application of quantum technologies and future iterations of the NQS to address societal impacts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
