No. There again, I disagree with the minister's position, simply because of the experience in the provinces where there are full order-making powers, as well as administrative and substantive issues.
Having, say, a 60-day deadline and having to come to the commissioner, as happens in Alberta, and explain why you need more than 60 days focuses the mind on performance within a department. They don't necessarily like to go there, and they don't necessarily like to be refused. So in that kind of context, I think the dynamic would push early response, and I don't see any particular increase in costs for the court per se.
In any case, I think the courts would be very intolerant of a debate between a federal commissioner and a department over whether it's 62 days or it's 72 days and that kind of stuff. Because it's administrative, the courts normally would frown on appeals. It would have to be an appeal based on a point of law, not on a decision of process.
