The Court -- We agree with the conclusions set out in the reasons of Rothstein J., the umpire, CUB-44824, as affirmed by Décary J.A. for the Federal Court of Appeal (2000), 73 C.R.R. (2d) 196.
As in R. v. Plant, [1993] 3 S.C.R. 281, there was no violation of s. 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the facts of this case. We conclude that the appellant cannot be said to have held a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to the disclosed portion of the E-311 Customs Information which outweighed the Canada Unemployment Insurance Commission’s interest in ensuring compliance with self-reporting obligations of the Unemployment Insurance benefit program.
Neither was there a breach of the appellant’s mobility rights under s. 6(1) of the Charter .
We would dismiss the appeal.
