(Defendant)

Lalande D.J.—Montreal, October 30, 1979.

about its capacity to fulfil a contract was placed before

dismissed.
APPEAL.
COUNSEL:
Raynold Bélanger, Q.C. for appellant (plain-
tiff).
Jean-Claude Ruelland, Q.C. for respondent
(defendant).
SOLICITORS:
Bélanger & Turgeon, Quebec City, for appel
lant (plaintiff).
Deputy Attorney General of Canada for
respondent (defendant).
The following is the English version of the
reasons for judgment of the Court delivered orally
by
PRATTE J.: We are all of the opinion that the
appeal' should be dismissed.
Even admitting that, as Mr. Bélanger contend
ed, the written recommendation sent to the Trea
sury Board contained inaccuracies, there is still no
basis in the record for concluding that the Board's
decision would have been different if these inac
curacies had been absent. The causal link between
the fault alleged and the damage sustained has
thus not been proven. This is a sufficient ground
for dismissing the appeal.
