REGISTRY UNDER COMPILATION No rows are published yet. The schema is locked and the source-or-omit contract is enforced — entries will appear here only when each row carries its verified primary-source citation. Do not infer absence of evidence as evidence of absence; check back as the registry populates.

Source-or-Omit Contract

Every published row of this registry must carry:

  • A primary-source URL on the relevant .gc.ca, provincial-government domain, or canlii.org.
  • A retrieval timestamp (ISO-8601 UTC).
  • A content_sha256 hash of the source artifact at retrieval time, persisted to the site provenance ledger.

Editorial inference, paywalled sources, and unverified claims are excluded by schema. This is a recording of what public bodies say about themselves — not commentary.

Right of reply. If you are a named officer or body and the public source we cite is incorrect or has been superseded, send the corrected primary-source URL via the methodology page and the row will be updated with the new citation in the next publication cycle.
