Governance, Regulation and the Third Sector: Responsive Regulation and Regulatory Responses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
[I]f one thinks about it, there are many political institutions that are interesting precisely because if we look at them today we are struck, simultaneously, by how little and how much they have changed over time. (Thelen, 2003: 211) Debate around the regulation of the third or voluntary sector has been a sleeper issue in Canadian public policy and administration. While the third sector has been actively pressuring for changes to public policy – and specifically regulatory reform – for the past decade, there has been little political or public interest in such reform. This is not surprising, one might say, for a small sector that is driven largely by well intentioned people doing good work, often on a volunteer basis, for the benefit of others. This stereotype of the third sector is badly outdated, however, if not plain wrong from the start. While the contributions of the voluntary sector as an integral part of the welfare state and the broader delivery of public services have come to be quite widely recognized, recent studies are demonstrating its economic significance as well.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
