Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Gazette dropped on August fifteen, twenty-twenty-six
Volume one-sixty, number thirty-three in the mix
Part One arrived with commissions lined up at the door
Government agencies spelling out what they're working for

Border Services had a notice, the trade tribunal spoke
Canadian Radio-television cut through the smoke
Up in Yukon, the assessment board put their word on the line
Environmental, socio-economic — taking stock of what's mine

[Chorus]
C'est officiel, le gouvernement a parlé
The Canada Gazette, read it, don't delay
Part One, Part Two, the record's set in stone
Regulations printed, nothing left unknown
C'est officiel — August twenty's the date
Volume one-fifty-nine, number sixteen, don't wait

[Verse 2]
Three days earlier, August twelve came Part Two
Volume one-fifty-nine, number sixteen, brand new
The second part carries the weight of the law in effect
Statutory orders and regulations earning their respect

Where Part One is the draft, the proposal, the ask
Part Two means it passed — it's official, unmask
Two separate volumes, two separate roles in the game
But both tell the country the rules aren't the same

[Chorus]
C'est officiel, le gouvernement a parlé
The Canada Gazette, read it, don't delay
Part One, Part Two, the record's set in stone
Regulations printed, nothing left unknown
C'est officiel — August twenty's the date
Volume one-fifty-nine, number sixteen, don't wait

[Bridge]
Four agencies filed their commissions in Part One
CBSA watching borders 'til the paperwork's done
CRTC keeps the airwaves and the telecoms in check
Yukon's assessment board gives the environment respect
The trade tribunal arbitrates when commerce goes sideways
These commissions are the scaffolding of how the system stays

[Verse 3]
So when you wonder how a country keeps its record clean
The Gazette is the ledger of everything in between
Every notice, every order, every registered decree
Published for the public — that's transparency

Two publications, different volumes, different weeks
One proposes, one delivers what the cabinet seeks
August twenty, twenty-twenty-six, mark it down right here
The official record running quiet, running clear

[Verse 4]
Behind the print there's public servants doing the work
Filing every amendment, making sure nothing's murk
Citizens can comment when it's still in Part One's draft stage
Thirty days to speak before it turns the final page
Democracy in detail, slow and steady as it goes
The Gazette holds the history of everything that flows

[Outro]
C'est officiel — the Gazette speaks low and slow
Lo-fi bureaucracy, but every word's a fact you know
Part One, Part Two, the government's handwritten proof
August twenty-twenty-six — another week of truth
