REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec

on February 11, 2002)

NOËL J.A.

[1]        Whether the amount calculated at six cents per mile travelled is an allowance or something else, it was paid in respect of the claimant's employment within the meaning of s. 2(1) of the Insurance Earnings and Collection of Premiums Regulations, SOR/97-33.


[2]        Since also s. 2(3) does not exclude this amount from the concept of insurable earnings, the Tax Court of Canada judge was right to conclude that the amount in question was insurable earnings during the period in which the said Regulations were in effect.

[3]        The application for judicial review will be dismissed, with costs to the Minister of National Revenue. Mr. Lamontagne will be entitled to his disbursements.
