APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT



[1]

We are satisfied that there was a basis upon which the trial judge could
    find that the police had articulable cause to detain the appellant for investigative
    purposes.  We would add, however, that while counsel at trial are to be
    commended for arriving at an agreed statement, some evidentiary context for the
    police actions would have been helpful.

[2]

The trial judges s. 24(2) analysis faithfully tracks
R. v. Grant
. 
    We defer to that analysis.

[3]

The appeal is dismissed.
