The jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals;
The matters of evidence and procedure including the issuance of subpoenas and the giving of evidence by experts and other witnesses;
The granting of enforcement and interim measures and preliminary orders;
The making of arbitral awards and the awarding of costs;
The termination of arbitral proceedings;
The enforcement of arbitral awards including awards made in other jurisdictions in Canada;
Recourse against arbitral awards including appeals; and
The confidentiality of arbitral proceedings.
