BETWEEN:

                                                                GEORGE DUMONT

                                                                                                                                                       Appellant

                                                                                 and

                                                        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                   Respondent

                                                            REASONS FOR ORDER

NADON J.A.

[1]         The respondent seeks to introduce fresh evidence: a decision of the Minister of Veterans Affairs dated May 28, 2002. The respondent submits that the decision is relevant because its effect is to terminate the stay order made by Madam Justice Tremblay-Lamer on June 5, 2002.

[2]         In my view, because the appellant is challenging the merits of the order of Tremblay-Lamer J. by way of appeal, the fresh evidence that the respondent seeks to introduce is completely irrelevant.


[3]         Accordingly, the respondent's motion will be dismissed with costs.

                                                                                                                                                    "M. Nadon"
