Summary:
Disentitlement under 32(a) based on same principle as 32(b). Must not be seen as penalty for inmate, any more than for absence from country. Rule based on effective lack of availability.
Meaning of "détenu" and "inmate" considered; not perfectly equivalent. Ejusdem generis rule applicable to "similar institution". Admission to psychiatric institute for diagnosis and not punishment. He is inmate, but not in prison.
Accused of theft and admitted to psychiatric institute in Montreal for 6 weeks to assess fitness to stand trial. Not a prison. Diagnosis rather than punishment.
