Majority
The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
Sopinka J.
Sopinka J. ‑‑ The sole issue in this appeal as of right is whether the Crown was obliged to prove the existence of a search warrant. We agree with the majority of the Court of Appeal that the existence of the warrant was established in this case. The issue of the burden of proof therefore does not arise. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitors for the appellant: Kenneth G. Young & Co., Vancouver.
Solicitor for the respondent: George Thomson, Ottawa.
