Can a decision-maker delay the effective date of an adverse decision in an administrative proceeding to facilitate a judicial review?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Canada (Attorney General) v. Oshkosh Defense Canada Inc., 2018 FCA 102 (CanLII):

Because of this, those defending administrative proceedings often ask the administrative decision-maker to exercise its discretion to delay the effective date of any adverse decision in order to facilitate a judicial review. Defendants advance this often as an alternative or secondary position behind their primary position that the administrative proceedings should be dismissed outright. Care must be taken to advance it before the administrator has rendered its decision and become functus: Chandler v. Alberta Association of Architects, 1989 CanLII 41 (SCC), [1989] 2 S.C.R. 848, 62 D.L.R. (4th) 577.
