What authority does the Court have on mootness?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Balignot Reyes v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), 2010 FC 277 (CanLII):

It was not in dispute that the overriding authority on mootness is Borowski v. Canada (Attorney General)[1]. The test for mootness involves a two-stage analysis. The question at the first stage is whether the Court’s decision would have any practical effect on resolving some live controversy between the parties. Where the issues between the parties have become “academic” or the “tangible and concrete dispute has disappeared”, the proceedings are technically moot.
