DISMISSED / REJETÉE
The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters seeks leave to intervene in this appeal. Both the appellants and the respondent oppose the motion.
The motion is brought out of time, as the date for hearing the appeal grows imminent. Moreover, if granted, it would result in the presentation to this Court of a new body of evidence, consisting of the opinion of an expert as to the methodology relevant to ascertaining the right to exploit resources. This in turn, might entail the need to hear further evidence and might even require cross-examination of the expert in question. Moreover, litigants in other actions under appeal might be affected. I conclude that this material cannot, in fairness, be received at this stage.
The application is dismissed.

David Goddard
v. (24200)
Her Majesty The Queen (Crim.)(Alta.) |
Alexander D. Pringle, Q.C., and Shawn Beaver, for the appellant.
Jack Watson, Q.C., for the respondent. |
SOPINKA J. -- In view of the finding of the trial judge that there existed a reasonable doubt as to whether the appellant undertook to advise the police officers when they would be needed as witnesses, we cannot agree with the Court of Appeal that the trial judge erred in law in dismissing the charge. We agree with the trial judge that what took place in the courtroom did not amount to obstruction. In the circumstances of this case, no false statement was made by the appellant to the court. Nor did he withhold information that he was obliged by law to disclose. In our view, therefore, the trial judge was entitled to conclude that in all the circumstances it was not established beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant had made a false representation either actively or by omitting to disclose a fact which the appellant had a duty to disclose. He did not err in law in so concluding.
We wish to add a comment on the appellant's conduct. If this were the conduct of a lawyer, it would be the subject of disciplinary proceedings. We agree with the comments of the trial judge therefore that the conduct while not criminal was ethically inexcusable.
The appeal is allowed, the judgment of the Court of Appeal is set aside and the acquittal is restored. L'Heureux-Dubé and Gonthier JJ., dissenting, would have dismissed the appeal for the reasons of the Court of Appeal. |
LE JUGE SOPINKA -- Compte tenu de la conclusion du juge du procès qu'il y avait un doute raisonnable quant à savoir si l'appelant a entrepris d'informer les policiers du moment où leurs services seraient requis en tant que témoins, nous ne pouvons convenir avec la Cour d'appel que le juge du procès a commis une erreur de droit en rejetant l'accusation. Nous partageons l'avis du juge du procès que ce qui s'est passé dans la salle d'audience ne constituait pas une entrave. Dans les circonstances de la présente affaire, l'appelant n'a fait aucune fausse déclaration à la cour. Il n'a pas non plus dissimulé des renseignements qu'il était légalement tenu de divulguer. À notre avis, le juge du procès avait donc le droit de conclure que, compte tenu de toutes les circonstances, il n'était pas établi hors de tout doute raisonnable que l'appelant avait fait une fausse déclaration activement ou en omettant de divulguer un fait qu'il était tenu de divulguer. Il n'a commis aucune erreur de droit en tirant cette conclusion.
Permettez-nous d'ajouter un commentaire au sujet du comportement de l'appelant. Si ce comportement était celui d'un avocat, il ferait l'objet de procédures disciplinaires. Nous souscrivons donc aux commentaires du juge du procès selon lesquels, quoique non criminel, le comportement en cause était inexcusable du point de vue déontologique.
Le pourvoi est accueilli, l'arrêt de la Cour d'appel est annulé et le verdict d'acquittement est rétabli. Les juges L'Heureux-Dubé et Gonthier, qui sont dissidents, auraient rejeté le pourvoi pour les raisons exposées par la Cour d'appel.

Terrence R. Hinz, for the respondent. |
THE CHIEF JUSTICE (orally) -- There was evidence sufficient to support the convictions entered by the trial judge, and no prejudice being argued, there was no miscarriage of justice. |
LE JUGE EN CHEF (oralement) -- La preuve était suffisante pour justifier les déclarations de culpabilité prononcées par le juge du procès et, en l'absence d'allégation de préjudice, aucune erreur judiciaire n'a été commise. |
The appeal is dismissed. |
