A: Yes you may. You simply need to file an updated declaration and attach the evidence/statements to you declaration. However, please remember that anything that you file with the court by way of evidence/declarations must be served upon the other side as well. So file the documents with the court and serve the other party and remember to file your proof of service of the new updated declaration.
