After referring to dictionary definitions of the word "poursuite", the Court stated (at p. 5191):
It would therefore be difficult to conclude definitively that 'poursuite' is more restrictive than 'proceedings' and that this is determinative in the context of s. 32. It is then necessary, in this case, to conclude that the common meaning of the English and French versions of the provision is unclear and that resort to the other rules of statutory interpretation is necessary in order to discern Parliament's intent.
