James Thomson, for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Heard: October 2, 2013

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1In our view it was reasonable for the Board to accept Dr. Pearce’s opinion evidence that substance abuse would lead to deterioration of the appellant’s mental stability and a return to the conduct like the index offences. The doctor has been the appellant’s treating physician for some time. That provided the doctor with an ample basis to conclude that the former would likely lead to the latter.
2The appeal must be dismissed.
