REASONS
FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered
from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario
on
Wednesday, November 12, 1997, as edited)
ROTHSTEIN, J.:
[1] Although
this is an appeal, in form, from a decision of a Citizenship Court Judge, in
substance it is an appeal from a decision of the Minister not to waive the
knowledge requirement of the appellant under subsection 5(3) of the Citizenship
Act. This Court does not have jurisdiction to consider an appeal from a
decision of the Minister under subsection 5(3). Therefore the appeal must be
dismissed.
