Reasons for Judgment — The Court

The Court — We are of the view that the dissent relied upon by the appellant as the foundation of his appeal as of right under s. 691(1) (a) of the Criminal Code , R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46 , cannot be construed as a dissent on a question of law alone. Accordingly, this Court has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal without leave, which in this case was not sought. The appeal is quashed.
