                                     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

                  (Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec, on September 21, 2004)

NOËL J.A.

[1]                We have not been persuaded that Dussault J. erred in any way in exercising his discretion.

[2]                Even if we accept, without deciding, that the appellant was led to believe that the employee of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency Agence could assist him, Dussault J. was entitled to find as he did based on the fact that seven months had elapsed before the appellant filed his application.


[3]                The appeal shall be dismissed with costs.
