Good morning, Chief Justice, Justices.
120:36
The Attorney General of Canada intervenes in this appeal to address two discrete issues.
120:42
First, how to determine the source of an alleged charter infringement, whether in legislation or from the exercise of administrative discretion.
120:52
And second, the standard of review of discretionary administrative decisions that engage the Charter.
120:59
On the first issue, Canada says that the Doré framework applies where the alleged charter infringement arises from the exercise of discretion, as opposed to the legislation itself.
121:10
And on the second issue, Canada submits that reasonableness review applies to the review of administrative decisions that engage charter protections, except for definitional constitutional questions that go to scope, applicability, or the proper framework.
121:26
Canada takes no position on any other issue in this appeal.
