REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on October 29, 2008)
[1] Despite the excellent argument of counsel for the Crown, in light of the vagueness of the relevant legislative provisions and the lack of clarity in the jurisprudence on the issue, we have not been persuaded that the Umpire made any error that would warrant our intervention.
This application will be dismissed.
