Appointments registry — who holds the offices.
Federal Governor in Council and related appointments are published instruments: who was named, to what body, when, and under which statute. “Captured-government era” is a framing title — capture is inference from networks and patterns, not a fact row by itself.
The numbers on the record.
What is established.
| Fact | Source class |
|---|---|
| Many federal agency boards and leadership roles are filled by Governor in Council appointment under statute. | Primary Enabling statutes · Privy Council |
| Appointment notices and Orders in Council are public records when published. | Primary Canada Gazette · OIC database |
| Some posts (e.g. CBC board/CEO) are explicitly GIC under the Broadcasting Act. | Primary Broadcasting Act |
| A registry on this site is a curated index — each entry should cite an external primary. | Method This file’s discipline |

term_end: null is rendered as — (no public end-date on record), never as present. Every linked source opens its primary public publisher. Network requests at runtime: local files only.
