MINISTER OF NATIONAL REVENUE
Respondent
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec, on February 9, 2006.)
[1] Considering the evidence on record, we are of the opinion that Mr. Justice Paris of the Tax Court of Canada was correct in concluding that, even without the “CPAP” apparatus, the appellant could perform basic activities of daily living and therefore did not meet the requirements under paragraph 118.3(1)(a.1) of the Income Tax Act.
[2] Since this is sufficient to dispose of the appeal, we will not render a decision concerning the reasons given by the trial judge at paragraph 13 of his decision.
[3] For these reasons, the appeal will be dismissed but, under the circumstances, without costs.
