Groupe parlementaire québécois → Québec debout (2018-06-06)

What the record says

On June 6, 2018, in the House of Commons, the record groups five changes of affiliation, each from the Groupe parlementaire québécois to Québec debout. Five people are named individually, and the record marks the resolution of this group as complete. The event record cites one source, a primary official record. These entries record the affiliations and their dates. They do not record why the changes were made, and nothing here should be read as a statement of motive. This paragraph was assembled by machine from the rows named in it, and is pending review.

2. On June 6, 2018, in the House of Commons, the record groups four changes of affiliation, each from the Groupe parlementaire québécois to Québec debout. Four people are named individually, but the record counts five participants in this group: one is not named here. The record marks the resolution of this group as partial, which those two figures reflect. The event record cites one source, a primary official record. These entries record the affiliations and their dates. They do not record why the changes were made, and nothing here should be read as a statement of motive. This paragraph was assembled by machine from the rows named in it, and is pending review.

   Official-source deterministic verifier

   Assumptions: Machine-assembled from this database’s own rows and from no other source. The text restates, as sentences, the participant rows attached to this record: the affiliation recorded on either side of each change, the date at the precision that row carries, the jurisdiction and chamber, whether the change is filed under a group event, and whether the event record behind it carries a citation. No date is printed finer than the row’s date_precision, so a year-precision row yields a year and never a day. Both languages are composed from the same rows rather than translated from one another. No motive, benefit, causation or characterisation of a person appears, and none may be added under this claim.

   Counterarguments: Two limits, stated rather than glossed. First, the prose is only as sound as the rows beneath it: where a party link is wrong the wrong party name is printed, and where an event is a legacy lead the sentence repeats an unverified lead — saying so, but repeating it. Second, restating a thin record fluently can make it read as established; the pending status on this claim, and the sentence inside the text naming the evidence state, are the only things that say otherwise. Four label-to-party mappings were deliberately not printed, because the party row’s name did not exist on the date of the event; the underlying links were left untouched and are still visible on the record.

Recorded outcomes only. An absence here means nothing has been recorded, not that nothing happened, and no causal link to the affiliation change is asserted unless a source establishes one.

No outcome is recorded for anyone on this event.

Revision history

Every change to this record is appended here. Nothing is edited away.

1. r7 corrected

   Redrafted this record’s summary because the roster underneath it changed. The paragraph said in words how many participants the record named and how many it counted, and named the shortfall; participants counted but not named have since been named from the same PARLINFO cluster that produced the count, so those sentences had stopped being true. The paragraph was regenerated by the project’s own summary drafter from the current rows, not edited by hand. NOTE: the identical paragraph is mirrored in the summary claim for this event in the claims table, which this actor does not own and has not modified. Until the claim is redrafted, the claim and this column disagree, and the claim is the stale one.

2. r6 corrected

   Roster completed and the resolution flag corrected from partial to complete. This record counted 5 participants and named 4; the 1 it counted without naming — Rhéal Éloi Fortin — are now named from the Library of Parliament, PARLINFO parliamentarian profile cluster that produced the count itself, each matched to a PARLINFO PersonId whose role chain carries this exact transition on this exact date. The roster now names 5 of 5. "Complete" here means complete with respect to that source, and no more than that.

3. r5 corrected

   The record asserted participant_resolution_status = "complete" while holding 4 participant rows against its own participant_count_known of 5. Corrected to "partial": the roster is short by 1. No participant row was added or removed; the person named in the source cluster but absent from this record is left for editorial review. The summary sentence that reported the flag as complete was updated to match.

4. r4 corrected

   The machine-assembled summary reported 4 participant rows as the whole group and repeated the record's "complete" resolution flag, while the event row counts 5 participants. Corrected to carry both figures, name the 1 not present, and state that the two disagree.

5. r3 expanded

   Wrote summary_en and summary_fr, both of which were empty. The text is machine-assembled from this database’s own rows and from no other source: the 4 participant rows attached to this event, each with the affiliation recorded on either side, the date at the precision that row carries, the jurisdiction and chamber, and whether the event record behind it carries a citation (1/1). No date is printed finer than date_precision. No motive, benefit, causation or characterisation is asserted, in keeping with the published mandate of the automated validator that signs it. Both languages are composed from the same rows rather than translated from one another. The last sentence of the text says, in the text itself, that it was assembled by machine and is pending review, so the disclosure travels with the paragraph through the API and through a copied quotation. The text is recorded as claim CTF-CL-SUM-66DC566F3399, kind project_analysis, assertion status pending_review. Nothing was copied or paraphrased from any encyclopaedia: the earlier removal of Wikipedia-derived prose from this project is not reversed by this change. Publication status and verification level are unchanged.

6. r2 corrected

   Corrected the stored permanent URI. It pointed at /en/crossings/groupe-parlementaire-quebecois-to-quebec-debout-2018-06-06, a path this site has never served, so the citation target returned HTTP 404. It now points at /crossings/groupe-parlementaire-quebecois-to-quebec-debout-2018-06-06, the canonical record address. No fact, date, party, participant or source in this record was changed.
