Before: Lemieux J.
BETWEEN:
LOUIS PIERRE GONZAGUE

Applicant
and
THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP
AND IMMIGRATION
Respondent
Motion by the applicant for a stay of execution of a removal order which became enforceable on August 27, 2001 and will be put into effect at 7:00 a.m. on December 8, 2001.
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
[1] This motion is dismissed with costs for two reasons.
[2] First, a stay requires the exercise of a discretionary power which will be denied by the Court if the applicant does not have clean hands, which is the case. The applicant is a person who claimed refugee status in Canada under a false identity and deliberately misled the Refugee Division by giving it false information.
[3] Second, the balance of convenience favours the respondent. I adopt Ms. Doyon's arguments set out in paras. 40 to 48 of her written submissions.
[4] However, the applicant may file another application for a statutory stay based on s. 50 of the Immigration Act.
