APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The Board had uncontroverted evidence from the hospital staff (CAMH) that the appellant could not be effectively treated any longer at CAMH. They recommended transfer to Waypoint.
2The Board’s reasons reveal a full appreciation of the evidence. We cannot say that the Board’s determination was unreasonable in the sense described in R. v. Owen.
3The appeal is dismissed.
