As I read Dunsmuir, the standard of correctness will not be applied to the decision of an administrative tribunal on an issue of interpretation of its enabling legislation, unless the issue goes to the scope of the tribunal’s jurisdiction, to procedural fairness, to constitutional questions, or to questions of general law. In these cases, the standard of correctness will be applied to the decision. See Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick at paras 36, 58, 59, 60, 90 and 129.
