RENNIE J.A.
LEBLANC J.A.
BETWEEN:
THE HONOURABLE GÉRARD DUGRÉ
Appellant
and
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
CANADA
Respondent
JUDGMENT
WHEREAS the appellant filed a notice of appeal on June 14, 2021, against a Federal Court decision dismissing his application for judicial review for prematurity;
WHEREAS the Court, on its own motion, issued a Direction on June 16, 2021, asking the parties to submit their respective positions in writing as to whether the appeal should be summarily dismissed based on the criterion for dismissal set out in Dugré v. Canada (Attorney General), 2021 FCA 8 (Dugré #1) and Dugré v. Canada (Attorney General), 2021 FCA 40 (Dugré #2);
WHEREAS the written submissions of the parties on these issues were received and examined by the undersigned judges;
WHEREAS the appellant was unable to demonstrate why this appeal is different from those that were summarily dismissed by this Court in Dugré #1 and Dugré #2;
WHEREAS, under the criterion for dismissal set out in Dugré #1 and Dugré #2, this appeal is doomed to fail and therefore must also be summarily dismissed;
WHEREAS the appellant asks that the appeal be stayed to preserve his rights in the event that the Supreme Court grants his applications for leave to appeal against Dugré #1 and Dugré #2 and ultimately reverses those decisions;
WHEREAS, in Dugré #2, the Court already explained why it is not in the interest of justice to grant a stay in this case in view of the problems arising from the multiplicity of interlocutory proceedings introduced by the appellant;
THEREFORE, the Court dismisses the application for a stay and summarily dismisses the appeal.
