REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered orally from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario on
Monday, September 20, 1999)
DÉCARY J.A.
[1] The Trial Judge answered in the affirmative the following certified question:
| Where, after the completion of a hearing, a Board has determined that a claimant is not a Convention refugee, and provides its reasons for decision orally, which are later reduced to writing and sent, along with the written notice of decision to the claimant, has the Board complied with ss. 69.1(9) & 69.1(11)(a) of the Immigration Act? |
[2] We fully agree with the reasons given by Mr. Justice Wetston (as he then was). The answer to the certified question is therefore "Yes".
[3] The appeal will be dismissed.
