REASONS FOR ORDER OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on September 20, 2007.)

 

NOËL J.A.

 

[1]               Having considered the written and oral submissions of the Applicant, we have not been persuaded that their proposed appeal raises an arguable question of law and jurisdiction with the meaning of section 22 of the National Energy Board Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. N-7.


 

[2]               Leave to appeal will therefore be dismissed with costs. An order is issued accordingly.
