What is the difference between mootness and exercise of mootness?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Djosta v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2005 FC 1475 (CanLII):

It is very important in the case at bar to fully understand the doctrine of mootness and that of the exercise of discretion; they are distinct and should not be confused. I will proceed to describe both, on the basis of Borowski v. A.G.C., 1989 CanLII 123 (SCC), [1989] 1 S.C.R. 342.
