Appellant
| APPEARANCE: M e JEAN CAUMARTIN, amicus curriae |
ORIGINAL
| ON THIS THIRTY-FIRST (31st) DAY OF MARCH IN THE YEAR ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT (1998), |
| THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE TEITELBAUM: |
| This is an appeal by Robinson Jebane Sebastiampillai from a decision of a Citizenship judge dated February 7th, 1997. |
| The Citizenship judge denied the Appellant his citizenship pursuant to Section 5(1)(e) of the Citizenship Act. |
| The appeal is a trial de novo. |
| At the hearing before me, the Appellant was asked a number of questions, some of which he was able to answer, some of which he was unable to answer. |
| Nevertheless, after listening to the witness, I believe that the Appellant will make a good citizen of Canada and therefore I recommend that he be granted Canadian citizenship. |
| THE HONOURABLE MAX TEITELBAUM |
| I, the undersigned, NICOLE RAYMOND, official bilingual Court stenographer, do hereby under my oath of office, certify that the preceding pages are a true and faithful transcript of the notes taken by means of the stenomask, the whole in conformity with the Law. |
