Arbour J.

Arbour J. — The Court of Appeal did not have the benefit of this Court’s decision in R. v. Rhee, [2001] 3 S.C.R. 364, 2001 SCC 71, in deciding whether this pre‑Lifchus charge was in substantial compliance with the principles articulated in R. v. Lifchus, [1997] 3 S.C.R. 320, and in assessing whether there is in this case a real concern that the jury may have misapprehended its task.
Applying Rhee, we can find no reason to interfere with the conclusion reached by the majority of the Court of Appeal.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed.
