Date: 19990114
Docket: 97-406-UI
BETWEEN:
ROBERT GAUDRY,
Appellant,
and
THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL REVENUE,
Respondent.
Appeal heard on December 8, 1998, at Winnipeg, Manitoba, by
the Honourable Deputy Judge Michael H. Porter
Reasons for judgment
delivered orally from the bench
Porter, D.J.T.C.C.
[1] This appeal is allowed for the same reasons as those set
out in the appeals of Lionel Allard and the Minister of National
Revenue (97-407(UI) and (97-408(UI)), copy of which is attached.
The only factual difference is that this Appellant was appointed
to the position of Administrator for the Interlake Region as
opposed to the Winnipeg Region. If anything this
Appellant’s position is even stronger as the evidence
revealed that after he was elected as Vice-President of the
Interlake Region of the Manitoba Metis Association Inc., the
former Administrator stayed on for a month or so before the
regional executive appointed the Appellant to the position.
[2] The appeal is allowed and the decision of the Minister
vacated.
Signed at Calgary, Alberta, this 14th day of January 1999.
"Michael H. Porter"
D.J.T.C.C.
