REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

 

MALONE J.A.

 

[1]               The appellant appeals a judgment of the Tax Court of Canada dated June 7, 2006.  That judgment confirmed, with minor adjustments for motor vehicle expenses, the reassessments of the Minister of National Revenue for the appellant’s taxation years 2000 and 2001.

 

[2]               These reassessments related to certain claimed expenses for rent, travel, lodging, car rentals and group insurance.  Despite the detailed arguments of the appellant, I am not persuaded that the Tax Court Judge committed any errors that warrant our intervention.

 

[3]               The appeal should be dismissed with costs (1 counsel fee only).
