2001-10-22 Order on motion to strike out, (by the Court)
2001-10-22 Decision on motion to strike out, Arb,
The applicants interveners the Gitanmaax Band, the Kispiox Band, and the Glen Vowell Band are seeking to strike paragraphs 95 and 96 of the factum filed by the respondent intervener the Attorney General of British Columbia.

The respondent intervener, the Attorney-General of British Columbia, points to some foundation in the record for the statements contained in paragraphs 95 and 96 of its factum. In my view, these references are sufficient to permit the paragraphs to stand. There is no basis to allow the applicants to supplement the existing record. The applicants may file an amended factum, within 10 days, to advance the arguments contained in their motion to strike. The motion is dismissed.
Dismissed, no order as to costs
