BY THE COURT JUDGMENT On the Motion for Recusation of Mr. Justice Clément Gascon : [ 1 ] Mr. Liu presents a motion for my recusation and submits that I should recuse myself from the hearing because I am a graduate of the Faculty of Law of McGill and that "[I am] related or allied within the degree of cousin-german inclusively to McGill". McGill University is one of the parties involved in this case.

[ 2 ] This ground of recusation is frivolous, to put it mildly. It is obvious that it does not constitute a sufficient ground for my recusation. FOR THESE REASONS : [ 3 ] The motion is DISMISSED , with costs. CLÉMENT GASCON, J.A.
