The first goal, obviously, is to do hearings right in a way that you don't need an appeal or a lawsuit about them. Let's try and make that the main goal. Inevitably, some of these things do end up being taken to court. I guess my experience, having seen jurisdictions where these issues either go to court or go to a specialized review tribunal, is you get better outcomes from a specialized review tribunal.
Australia is a great example. It created a specialized land and resources review tribunal decades ago. It's produced much better outcomes from the perspectives of both sides over the years than having it go to a judge who simply doesn't know this area.
Yes, the experience in Ontario is one you could draw on. Alberta has a review tribunal. Many provinces do. If you're going to have cases that end up being appealed, you're probably better to have a specialist tribunal than leave it to the whim of courts.
