Citation: 2005 FC 704
Montréal, Quebec, May 16, 2005
Present: MR. RICHARD MORNEAU, PROTHONOTARY
BETWEEN:
MICHEL CROTEAU
Applicant
and
HOCKEY CANADA
Respondent
Motion in writing by the respondent, Hockey Canada, to strike out the application for judicial review filed by the applicant.
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
[1] The application for judicial review filed by the applicant (the application) is addressed to the decision of Hockey Canada to suspend the son of the applicant, Michel Croteau. In this case, the application does not seek to review the decision of the Human Rights Commission. The applicant focuses solely on the decision of Hockey Canada. But Hockey Canada is not a federal board, commission or other tribunal and its decision cannot be reviewed by this Court.
[3] Furthermore, it should be noted that this Court does not have the power to order a public inquiry or to order the respondent or the Government of Canada to appoint an ombudsman for minor hockey.
[4] The other orders sought by the applicant cannot succeed, either.
[5] In my view, therefore, the application is clearly so irregular as to have no chance of success. Accordingly, it is clear and obvious that the Court must intervene and strike out this application.
[6] The applicant=s application, therefore, is struck out, without costs.
