In AB the PHA was written to place that authority only with the CMOH. In a challenge the court concluded cmoh orders were unreasonable as they were based on an unreasonable interpretation of the law that placed the decision making authority with cabinet (PICC) www.canlii.org/en/ab/abkb/d...

The PHA still gives the CMOH that authority but there’s a whole section about the minister and orders in council now. I was surprised to hear her declare that cabinet made the decisions after reading the PHA. Not many reasonable paths of interpretation supporting deferral to cabinet.

Paragraph 91 of the decision linked previously
