In a matter where there is an appeal to this Court from the decision of an administrative tribunal or decision maker, the applicable standard of review needs to be determined. In a judicial review, there are two standards of review which may be applicable: correctness or reasonableness. Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9 (CanLII), [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190.
