103.8. The arbitration referred to in subparagraph 1 of the third paragraph of section 103.7 is governed by Book VII of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25) or in accordance with a decision-making and dispute-settlement mechanism the Minister may impose on all the guarantee and permit holders concerned. However, if the guarantee and permit holders concerned have already agreed on another mechanism, one of them may, with the Minister’s consent and in accordance with the mechanism, submit the dispute to arbitration under those terms.
The decisions made under a decision-making and dispute-settlement mechanism operate as stipulations agreed upon by the parties with regard to the object of the dispute.
