What is the standard of review for the Court of Appeal to determine whether CIDA interpreted and applied its own program?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Kissidi v. Canada (Attorney General), 2013 FC 1000 (CanLII):
In addition, CIDA interpreted and applied its own programs. As such, this is simply a question of a decision‑making body applying its own statute, and therefore the standard of review is reasonableness (Dunsmuir v New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 SCR 190, and Smith v. Alliance Pipeline Ltd., 2011 SCC 7, [2011] 1 SCR 160).
