Imagine that philosophy applied to tax law. The state has no business auditing my tax return. All the state can do is accept the facts as I present them.

This was a classic admin law decision -- the federal courts are disagreeing amongst themselves over whether Elections Canada was unreasonable or not in its decision, not over whether Elections Canada was RIGHT or not.<br /><br />One can be wrong but reasonable -- the courts are willing to show deference to administrative bodies to that extent.Ben (The Tiger in Exile)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15343544805893081216noreply@blogger.com
