Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Gazette arrived on a Saturday morning
Volume one-sixty, number twenty-nine
Part One carries its usual assortment
Of commissions lined up in a tidy design
The Trade Tribunal has something to process
The CRTC filed its paperwork straight
And the Public Service Commission is also
Among the notices posted of late

[Chorus]
It's the Canada Gazette, July eighteen
The official record of what the government means
Part One and Part Two, they both take the floor
Dry as a ledger but lawful to the core
Every notice a door

[Verse 2]
Environment Canada left something in writing
A government notice from Privy Council too
These aren't the headlines that anybody's chasing
But somebody's rules are becoming brand new
The Privy Council keeps order behind closed curtains
Department of Environment stamps what it will
Part One holds the proposals still open for comment
Part Two makes the finished regulations real

[Chorus]
It's the Canada Gazette, July eighteen
The official record of what the government means
Part One and Part Two, they both take the floor
Dry as a ledger but lawful to the core
Every notice a door

[Verse 3]
There are deadlines embedded in government language
A comment period closing on a given date
If you read past the headers and into the columns
You might find your industry listed and wait
The transport authorities, fisheries and forests
The labour relations boards making their call
It doesn't get coverage on any front page
But the Gazette was never intended for all

[Bridge]
Part Two came out three days prior
Volume one-fifty-nine, number fourteen
July the fifteenth, quieter arrival
Regulations already signed and convened
One half proposes, the other one closes
That's how a policy moves off the shelf
Read it or miss it, it happened regardless
The Gazette doesn't announce itself

[Verse 4]
So somewhere a business is reading the fine print
A lawyer is marking the margins in red
A lobbyist checking if anything shifted
Between what was promised and what the text said
The clerks and the editors formatted the columns
The Queen's Printer prepared it with care
Democracy lives in the least-read of pages
And Saturday morning, it's already there

[Chorus]
It's the Canada Gazette, July eighteen
The official record of what the government means
Part One and Part Two, they both take the floor
Dry as a ledger but lawful to the core
Every notice a door

[Outro]
So if you wonder who governs the fine print
Commissions and councils and departments in line
Check volume one-sixty on Saturday morning
Number twenty-nine, July eighteen, twenty twenty-nine
