     REASONS FOR ORDER

McGILLIS, J.:

     Despite the able argument of counsel for the applicant, I have concluded that the implausibility findings made by the Immigration and Refugee Board ("Board") were not so unreasonable as to require the intervention of this Court. In particular, I am satisfied that the two related findings of implausibility concerning the extent of the applicant's activities in the Jatiya Party were reasonable on the basis of the evidence in the record. Since those adverse findings related to crucial aspects of the applicant's testimony, any error made by the Board in its assessment of the evidence concerning the attempts by the BNP to recruit the applicant would not affect its overall conclusion.

     In the circumstances, my intervention in this matter is not warranted.

     The application for judicial review is dismissed. The case raises no serious question of general importance.
