| REGISTRY UNDER COMPILATION — 4 ROWS PUBLISHED, MORE PENDING The schema is locked and the source-or-omit contract is enforced — additional entries will appear here only when each row carries its verified primary-source citation. The 4 published rows above cover the most-documented chief-to-cabinet pipeline cases (Blair, Fantino), the most- documented chief-to-mayoral-candidacy case (Saunders), and the Mass Casualty Commission's documented finding on the RCMP-Commissioner-to-Public-Safety-Minister political-pressure allegation (Lucki).
