What is the legal test for a broad consensus?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Oakes v. Pahtayken, 2010 FCA 169 (CanLII):

The parties agreed that the Judge applied the correct legal test, that of “broad consensus”. The application of that test to the facts is a question of mixed fact and law for which the standard of review, once again, is that of palpable and overriding error: see Housen v. Nikolaisen, previously cited, at paragraph 36.
