                                            (Delivered from the bench at Ottawa, Ontario

                                                     on Tuesday, February 20, 2001)

DÉCARY J.A.


[1]         Despite Mr. Boudreau's skilful presentation, we were not persuaded that the umpire made any reviewable error. Exhibit P-5, which is the statement made to a Commission officer by the claimant, contains sufficient information to support the finding of fact made by the umpire. It is true that Exhibit P-8, to which the umpire did not expressly refer, sets out the facts from a slightly different standpoint, but not in our opinion to such an extent as to contradict the gist of the testimony contained in Exhibit P-5 or to suggest that the umpire did not consider it.

[2]         The application for judicial review will be dismissed. As the respondent did not apply for costs, it would not be appropriate to award any.
