REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Montréal, Quebec, on November 5, 2014).
BOIVIN J.A.
[1] Despite the forceful argument of counsel for the applicant, we have not been persuaded that the Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal committed a reviewable error.
[2] It was open to the Tribunal to conclude as it did, on the basis of the evidence on record. What we are being asked to do is to conduct a trial de novo and reach the opposite conclusion. This is not the role of this Court.
[3] The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
