STATE: LIVE · DESCRIPTIVE

ESG credential reference door for Canada. Binds to CA-ECO-10060 for jurisdiction; does not contain Canadian regulations — it states the instruments and cites their primary sources. Agent-native and machine-native.

Claim Attribution

Every claim carried through this door names its author in four slots. No credential is lodged on this surface this wave.

Maker assertsthe maker's own statement, in the maker's name

Certifier issuedthe attesting body, in the certifier's name

Datedate of issue of the attestation

Schemethe scheme the attestation is issued under

Every claim names its author: maker asserts · certifier issued · date · scheme. GSC is the operator of the scaffolding — never verifier, auditor, rater or certifier. No score, rank, grade or comparative claim is carried. GSC attests transport and resolution only — the record as lodged.

Jurisdiction Regulation Register — Canada

This register states instruments — name, number, status, dates — and cites their primary source. It does not interpret how they apply. Draft laws are marked DRAFT and are never described as in force. Instrument names appear in their official form.

Province is the sub-context of CA-ECO-10060: provincial EPR instruments carry the province.
