Purpose:

To remind the Court of the concept of "reliability" used by the SCC in St-Onge.

To educate the Court as to the definitions of "accuracy", "precision", and "reliability" used by Brian Hodgson in his paper relied on by the SCC in St-Onge.

To focus on drift in accuracy and precision over time from:

the manufacturer's specifications,

and/or the accuracy and precision of the 8000 that was evaluated,

and/or this specific instrument when first placed into service,

as compared with accuracy and precision close to time of use.
