  Ruling
  Member: Pierre Deschamps Date: November 2, 2006 Citation: 2006 CHRT 55
  [1] The respondent is requesting that simultaneous interpretation services be available during the testimony of some of its witnesses, namely Dr. Wilchesky, Dr. Karmel, Dr. Boddam, Dr. Newnham, Dr. Watson and Colonel Fletcher, since they are more comfortable testifying in English than in French.
  [2] Moreover, the respondent requests that the simultaneous interpretation services be made available during the testimony of Dr. Beltrami to facilitate the understanding of one of its experts, Dr. Karmel, who will eventually be called to testify in regard to Dr. Beltrami's testimony.
  [3] The Tribunal grants respondent's motion for simultaneous interpretation services to be available during the testimony of Dr. Wilchesky, Dr. Karmel, Dr. Boddam, Dr. Newnham, Dr. Watson and Colonel Fletcher.
  [4] The Tribunal also grants respondent's application that simultaneous interpretation services be available during the testimony of Dr. Beltrami, considering the testimony of Dr. Karmel as an expert will deal with the report produced by Dr. Beltrami and his testimony and it is important for Dr. Karmel to understand all the nuances of Dr. Beltrami's potential testimony, so as to be able to advise the Tribunal in the best manner possible on one of the questions in issue.
