Does an applicant have to testify that he did not include any significant information in his sponsored spouse questionnaire and narrative?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Traill v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 CanLII 59779 (CA IRB):

The applicant did not testify and as a result there was no explanation for his not having included such significant information in his sponsored spouse questionnaire and narrative. I infer from the absence of the applicant’s testimony that his evidence would have exposed facts unfavourable to the success of the appeal: see Ma v. Canada (Immigration and Citizenship).[7]
