The federal, provincial and municipal governments often establish agencies to handle specific matters. There are rules about accountability and fairness that these agencies must follow. These agencies are accountable to the public as well as the government.
Government agencies owe a duty of fairness in making decisions. This duty applies to an agency when it does something which affects your rights or privileges.
Government agencies are authorized to make certain types of decisions. When doing so, they must use their discretion properly.
If you are not satisfied with a governmental agency’s decision, you may be able to have the matter reviewed.
