note: 26462 Proceedings 1 Vancouver, B.C. 2 May 14, 1990 3 4 (PROCEEDINGS RECONVENED AT 9:00 A.M.) 5 6 THE REGISTRAR: Order in court. Supreme Court of British 7 Columbia, this 14th day of May, 1990. Delgamuukw 8 versus Her Majesty the Queen at bar, my lord. 9 THE COURT: Mr. Rush, it occurred to me over the weekend that 10 none of us mentioned the factor that seems to me to 11 have some relevance to the proceedings that I 12 understand are to take place this morning.
