LÉTOURNEAU J.A.

[1]                 Despite the excellent argument by Ms. Bibeau and the admirable work done by the Maisonnée de Hauterive Inc., the Court was not satisfied that Revenue Canada's decision denying the latter registration as a charitable organization was vitiated by any error justifying its intervention.
