     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the bench at Ottawa, Ontario,

on Wednesday, September 30, 1998)

NOËL J.A.

[1]      It has not been shown that Madam Justice Lamarre of the Tax Court of Canada committed an error which would justify the intervention of this Court.

---

[2]      It was open to her to find on the evidence before her that the appellant worked before and after the periods of employment for which she reported no earnings, and this important fact, considered in light of the other circumstances in evidence, justifies her conclusion.

[3]      The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
