Following a trial where the respondent was totally successful, the court determined the issue of costs.
The applicant argued that no costs should be awarded due to his impecuniosity and the respondent's access to benefits through her First Nations status.
The court rejected this argument, noting that the respondent is the sole support for their children because the applicant is unable to work.
Costs were awarded to the respondent in the fixed amount of $6,000.
