Iacobucci J. — Mr. O’Brien, it will not be necessary to hear from you as the Court is ready to pronounce judgment. Before doing so, Mr. Galligan, the Court wishes to thank you for your able submissions.
This appeal comes to us as of right. In the final analysis, we agree with the majority in the Ontario Court of Appeal ((2002), 4 C.R. (6th) 157) that: “While there was evidence upon which a trier of fact could make a finding of dangerous driving, in the circumstances, the failure to do so did not amount to an error of law” (para. 11).
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
