The following excerpt is from Law Society of Manitoba v. Lawrie, 1989 CanLII 5218 (MB QB):
As was said by La Forest J. in Jones v. The Queen (1986), 1986 CanLII 32 (SCC), 31 D.L.R. (4th) 569 at p. 598, 28 C.C.C. (3d) 513, [1986] 6 W.W.R. 577 (S.C.C.): The provinces must be given room to make choices regarding the type of administrative structure that will suit their needs unless the use of such structure is in itself so manifestly unfair, having regard to the decisions it is called upon to make, as to violate the principles of fundamental justice.
