BETWEEN: GEORGES YOUNÉS Applicant and ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT LÉTOURNEAU J.A. [1] This is an application for judicial review of a decision of Judge Archambault of the Tax Court of Canada. The applicant, who is representing himself, is asking us for all intents and purposes to review a finding made by the judge that was based essentially on the credibility of the applicant. The judge did not believe that there had been a charitable gift in the amount claimed by the applicant in this case. It is not up to us to review this finding of fact of the judge, who had the benefit of hearing the applicant and the other witnesses who were claiming similar deductions. [2] Similarly, I do not see any error in his finding that the applicant had made a false statement in his tax return warranting the application of subsection 163(2) of the Income Tax Act. [3] Accordingly, I would dismiss the application for judicial review with costs. "Gilles Létourneau" J.A. "I concur. Robert Décary J.A." "I concur. Marc Nadon J.A."
