Senator Patrick, I think the EM and the bill itself are actually very clear on that answer. In case you haven't had the opportunity to read the EM and the accompanying material, I'll tell you what the test for the reviewing officer considers. The reviewing authority decides if any of the following apply: it was an improper exercise of the power to make the TEO, the decision was induced or affected by fraud, or, if the decision was made under section 10(2)(a), whether the minister could have formed the required state of mind based on the information considered by the minister. So, again, it is quite comprehensive and freely available for your perusal in the EM and other documents.
