Iacobucci J.
Iacobucci J. – This appeal comes to us as of right.
At the outset, it is important to note the essential supervisory role of courts of appeal in carefully scrutinizing the reasonableness of verdicts. In this respect, we are mindful of the cogent factors identified by Twaddle J.A., dissenting in the Manitoba Court of Appeal in this case. However, in the final analysis, we do not see any reason to differ with the disposition arrived at by Helper J.A. for the majority of the Court of Appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. LeBel J., dissenting, would have allowed the appeal substantially for the reasons of Twaddle J.A., and quashed the conviction for sexual assault.
