What reasons for decisions in the administrative context?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Prairies Tubulars (2015) Inc v. Canada (Border Services Agency), 2022 FCA 38 (CanLII):

Vavilov teaches us that reasons for decisions in the administrative context need only allow the reviewing court to understand why the decision-maker made its decision and permit it to determine whether the conclusion is within the range of acceptable outcomes (Vavilov at para. 91; Beddows v. Canada (Attorney General), 2020 FCA 166).
