What are the factors used to determine whether there is a privative clause in the Health and Social Care Act?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Buschau v. Canada (Attorney General), 2008 FC 1023 (CanLII):

In my opinion, all the enumerated factors are relevant and informative in the present case. There is no privative clause in the Act, nor is there any statutory right of appeal. The absence of a privative clause is understood to be a neutral factor (Dr. Q v. College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, 2003 SCC 19 (CanLII), [2003] 1 S.C.R. 226).With regards to the nature of the questions at issue, I am of the opinion that the applicants have raised both questions of pure law and jurisdiction and questions of mixed law and fact. Questions of law and jurisdiction merit less deference, while questions of mixed law and fact attract more deference. Given the number of issues raised, I will have considered the issues individually:
