28 Accordingy in determining a stay appication under subsection 4 1 2) via the RJR test, the

Agency does not reassess the adjudication of the compaint

L ga Authority fr Stays

29 The Agency submits that there are three aternative sources of statutory authority that this

Honourabe Court shoud have regard to when determining if the Agency has the power to

grant a stay under subsection 412) of the New Rues:

1 ) the power to vary any decision or order section 3 2 of the CTA);

2) the powers, rights and privieges that are vested in a superior court section 25 of the

CTA); and

3) the coection of broad remedia powers subsection 334), subsection 271 ), subsection

281))

aada Trasorao A SC 1 996, c. 1 0, s 25, 271 ), 281 ), 32, 334)

1 Power to Vary

30 . This Honourabe Court und that when staying decisions, the Canadian Radio-Teevision

and Teecommunications Commission CRTC) was exercising its power to "vary the

eective date of its decision

Assoao des oages de Thoe du Qube I v.aada (Aorey Geera) 201 2 FCA 203, paras 1 21 4 [ACTQ)


14/50

1 3

3 1 . The Agency notes that the unquaied power o the CRTC in section 62 o the

Teeouiaios A S.C 1993 c. 38 to vary any decision is broader than section 32 o

the CTA which expicity requires new cts or circumstances:

The Agency may review rescind or vary any decision or order madeby it or may rehear any appication bere deciding it i in the opinion

o the Agency since the decision or order or the hearing o the appicationthere has been a change in the cts or circumstances pertaining to thedecision order or hearing.

Teeouiaios A S.C. 1 993 c. 38 s. 62

aada Tasoaio A S.C. 1 996 c . 1 0 s . 32

32 . However the Agency respecty submits that in order to satisy the teepart RJR test r a

stay a party must prove to the Agency that the party wi suer ieparabe harm i rced to

compy with an Agency decision or order bere an appea a review or a rehearing is

resoved or in other circumstances that so require. Proo such ieparabe harm in the

Agencys respect submission constitutes a new ct or circumstance sucient to ground

the Agencys review and vary power under section 32 o the CTA.

3 3 Accordingy the Agency submits that appying the reasoning in ACT the Agency is

empowered under section 32 o the CTA to issue stays o its decisions or orders by varying

the eective date o the decision or order because the threepart RJR test incorporates the

requirement o section 3 2 o the CTA r new cts or circumstances in the rm o

ieparabe harm.

2 Powers of a Sup rior Court

1 4

34 Aternativey section 25 of the CTA invests the Agency with the powers rights and

privieges of a superior court incuding broad remedia jurisdiction:

. The Agency has with r sp ct to a matters n c ssary or prop r r theexercise of its urisdiction, the attendance and examination of witnesses the production and inspection of documents the enrcement of its ordersor reguations and the entry on and inspection of property a the

36. Accordingy the Agency submits that it is empowered under section 25 of the CTA to issue

stays of its decisions or orders by virtue of possessing the powers rights and privieges

vested in a superior court incuding the inherent jurisdiction to stay execution of its decisions

or orders pending appea review or rehearing or in other circumstances that so reuire

3 . Broad Remedia Powers

37. Atenativey, the CTA grants the Agency broad powers with respect to is decisions and

orders, and reading these encompassing powers together, it is open to this Honourabe Court

to necessariy impy that since Pariament granted the Agency such vast powers in reation to

its decisions and orders, Pariament aso intended to grant the Agency the power to stay its

decisions and orders.

38 The rst broad power is provided by the CTA in subsection 33(4):

The Agency may, bere or aer one o its decisions or orders is madean order o a court, enrce the decision or order by its own action.

aada Trasoraio A SC 1 996 c 1 0, s. 33(4)

39 The second broad power is provided by the CTA in subsection 27( 1 )

On an appication made to the Agency, the Agency may grant the whoeor part o the appication, or may make any order or grant any rher orother reie that to the Agency seems just and proper

aada Trasoraio A SC. 1996 c. 10 s 27(1)

40 The third and na broad power i s provided by the CTA in subsection 28( 1 ):

The Agency may in any order direct that the order or a portion or provisiono it sha come into rce

a) at a ture time,b) on the happening o any contingency event or condition

specied in the order, orc) on the perrmance, to the satisction o the Agency or

47 Thus the Former Rues permitted the Agency to do whatever was necessary to dea with

anything not covered by the Rues. In this sense, the Former Rues were a "compete code";

they provided the Agency with comprehensive authority to dea with any procedura matter,

both those that were expicity enumerated in the Former Rues and those that were not

Notaby, section 6 of the Former Rues acknowedged that the Rues were not exhaustive;

they provided r a means to suppement any gap.

48 Like the Former Rues, the New Rues aow the Agency wide procedura exibiity:

section 34 provides a mechanism to e a document not otherwise provided r

. (1) A perso may e a request r a decision on any issue that ariseswithin a dispute proceeding and r which a specic request is not providedr under these Rues

5 1 The Agency therere respecty submits that this Honourabe Court shoud bear in mind

that the very terms of the New Rues demonstrate that they incorporate variance and

suppementation as needed, which is consistent with the ndamenta principes of

administrative aw, namey that the Agency is master of its own procedure and that the

administrative adudicative process must remain exibe Therere, whie the Agencys rues

of procedure constitute an extensive guide to process, the Rues are not intended to constitute

an exhaustive, excusive ist of procedures avaiabe to parties, and have never been treated as

such

ii No opponiy o objec o eqess of nonpaies o inevene

52 The Supreme Court of Canada has hed that the decision to grant or rese an intervention is

discretionary

Grea orher Gra Teras Led aada aoa aay oayAgency Decision No 344R2007, at paras 45

53 As such, the Agency respecty submits that intervention requests squarey within the

administrative aw principe that the Agency is master of its own procedure This i s

consistent with the principe that the decis ion of whether to grant a request r intervention

shoud beong to the Agency and be based on the Agencys determination of whether the

participation of the proposed intervener wi assist the Agency to arrive at a we-inrmed

decision.

54 Athough the New Rues do not provide r an automatic right of repy to requests to

intervene, a party may request to e an answer through section 34, cited above, which

aows persons to request to e a document which is not otherwise provided r in the New

Rues

55 Fhermore, subsection 5 (2) of the New Rues aso permits the Agency to utiie section 34

(and any other rue) on its own motion when it considers appropriate:

Anything that may be done on request under these Rues may aso be doneby the Agency of its own initiative

aadia Trasoraio Agey ues (Disue Proeedigs aderai ues iabe o A Proeedigs) (SO204-04), s 5(2)Appea Boo, page

57 Finay, the Agency notes that the New Rues provide r a right o repy to the substance o

iii Removal of reqiremen o provide reasons

58 The New Rues do not require the Agency to provide reasons in support o its orders and

decisions

59 Athough the Former Rues did provide r reasons the Agency submits that the CTA does

not impose an expicit statutory duty to provide reasons :

Athough the Act itse imposes no duty on the Agency to give reasonssection 39 o the aioa Trasoraio Agey Geera ues doesimpose such a duty In this case, the Agency chose to provide its reasonsin writing

64. This Honourabe Court has conrmed that the right to crossexamination in an administrative

dispute proceeding is not absoute where there is no right to cross-examination provided r

by statute:

The right to crossexamine whie of principa importance to our judicia systemis not an absoute right. Where a statute is sient on the right to crossexamine,courts wi generay be reuctant to impose upon a board their procedures andtechnica rues of evidence .

Arsrog d (oissioer o he oy diMoued Poie) 1998 2 FCR 666

65. The CTA does not provide a right to crossexamination This may be contrasted with the

enabing statutes of the owing dera administrative tribunas :

66 Authors Macauay and Sprague have aso articuated the principe that there is no common

aw obigation in administrative aw to aow r cross-examination:

At common aw, there is no absoute obigation on agencies to aowcross-examination of witnesses in ora hearings or to aow crossexamination on the materias submitted or interocutories when thehearing is conducted in writing

Macauay and Sprague, Praie ad Proedure Beore AdiisraieTribuas oose-eaf edition, 1228(a)(i) at 121788

6 7 Accordingy, the Agency respecty submits that, s ince there i s no ega right to

examinations in Agency proceedings, there is no ega obigation to provide r such

procedures in the New Rues

68 The Agency notes, however, that the New Rues set out a mechanism by which parties can

test the other parties' evidence

( 1 ) A party may, by notice, request that any party that is adverse ininterest respond to written questions that reate to the matter in disputeor produce documents that are in their possession or contro and thatreate to the matter in dispute

69. Shoud a party wish to examine a witness oray the Agency notes that section 27 o the New

Rues provides that a party may make any request In such a case the Agency wi decide the

merits of such a request in the context of a specic proceeding

Oal Heaing

70 The Agency respecty submits that there is no universa common aw right to an ora

hearing in the context of administrative aw:

However it aso cannot be said that an ora hearing is aways necessaryto ensure a ir hearing and consideration of the issues invoved. Theexibe nature of the duty of irness recognies that meaningparticipation can occur in dierent ways in dierent situations.

Baker v. aada (Miiser o iizeshi ad Iigraio)[1999] 2 S.R. 87 at para. 33

7 Notaby this nding was reached by the Supreme Court of Canada despite the ct that

Baker invoved removas of individuas om Canada which aect a persona interest of the

highest possibe importance and which therere attract a very high eve of procedura

iess This may be contrasted to decisions of the Agency which do not have the same i

iberty or security of the person impications r an appicant.

72 Apart om common aw, the duty to hod an ora hearing may be provided r by statute.

However, this Honourabe Court und at para 89 in A ai aada I v aadia

Trasoraio Agy that the CTA did not impose a requirement to hod ora hearings :

. it is my view that the Agency had the right to exercise i ts discretionin deciding whether to grant an ora hearing. t has discretion in the conducto its own aairs Baker, at paragraph 27) and neither the CTA nor theAg ncy's Genera Rues

73 Accordingy, the Agency respecty submits that there is no genera duty imposed on the

Agency to hod ora hearings, whether by virtue o the common aw duty o procedura

irness or the CTA The Agency therere respecty submits that it is not required to

estabish provisions reating to ora hearings in its New Rues

74 Nevertheess, the Agency notes that the Ne w Rues do, in ct, appy to ora hearings This

was expained in the Reguatory mpact Anaysis Statement

Whie Part o the Genera Rues set out procedures appicabe to orahearings, the provisions did not adequatey address the procedura stepsinvoved in an ora hearing process, and therere, these provisions were
