[12] Canada’s submission is well founded. A cross-appeal lies when a party "“seeks a different disposition of the [judgment] appealed from”": Rule 341 of the Federal Courts Rules, S.O.R./98-106. "“Different disposition”" means a remedy that will have real-life, practical consequences for the party cross-appealing. A cross-appeal does not lie simply because a party is dissatisfied with the reasons for judgment: Ratiopharm Inc. v. Pfizer Canada Inc., 2007 FCA 261, 367 N.R. 103 at paras. 6 and 12.
