Majority
The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
La Forest J.
La Forest J. ‑‑ We are all of the view that the appeal is governed by Re McVey, [1992] 3 S.C.R. 475, which had not been decided when the case came before the Court of Appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed, the judgment of the Court of Appeal is set aside, and the warrant of committal issued by Downs J. is restored.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitor for the appellant: John C. Tait, Ottawa.
Solicitors for the respondent: Corriveau & Associés, Québec.
