                                       REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

DESJARDINS J.A.

[1]                 We are of the view that this appeal must fail since there was no evidence before the Tax Court judge (Green v. Canada (2001), D.T.C. 439) to support the appellant's claim for business expenses related to his pick-up truck and for wages paid to his wife. The expenses related to interest and bank charges were abandoned at the hearing.

  

[2]                 This appeal will therefore be dismissed with costs.
