Heard: October 2, 2013

On appeal against the disposition of the Ontario Review Board dated, February 14, 2013.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] In 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.

[2] The appeal must be dismissed.
