What is the test for a Minister's Decision as to whether to issue a film or video production certificate?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Serdy Vidéo II Inc. v. Canada (Heritage), 2018 FC 413 (CanLII):
As for the Minister’s Decision as to whether to issue a film or video production certificate, it must be reviewed under the reasonableness standard (Zone3 at paragraph 26). These decisions raise questions of mixed fact and of law. The role of the reviewing judge is therefore to assess the justification of the decision, the transparency and the intelligibility of the decision‑making process, and to ensure that the decision falls within a range of possible, acceptable outcomes which are defensible in respect of the facts and law (Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190 at paragraph 47).
