BETWEEN:      INTAIR-CHANGE INC.,

     Plaintiff,

     AND

     PARKS CANADA AGENCY,

     Defendant.



     REASONS FOR ORDER


TEITELBAUM J.:



[1]      After reviewing the documents submitted by the parties and hearing the thoughtful submissions of counsel, I consider that an interlocutory injunction should not be granted.

[2]      I am persuaded that the plaintiff has not been able to present a serious question to be tried.

[3]      Further, I am persuaded after reading the affidavit filed by Louis-Philippe Roberge and after examining the letter of December 6, 1999, and the submission made by EXCHANGE CORPORATION CANADA INC., that Mr. Roberge visited the premises for and on behalf of EXCHANGE CORPORATION CANADA INC.

[4]      That being so, and as this was the plaintiff"s only argument, the latter was unable to present a serious question to be tried.

[5]      The motion is dismissed without costs.
