R. c. Gigu\u00e8re, 2017 QCCQ 461<\/a><\/p>\n

[113]\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0L\u2019expression \u00ab d\u00e8s que mat\u00e9riellement possible \u00bb ne veut pas dire dans les meilleurs d\u00e9lais possibles, avec un empressement et une efficacit\u00e9 optimale.<\/p>\n

[114]\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Dans\u00a0R.<\/em>\u00a0c.\u00a0Vanderbruggen<\/em>[71]<\/a>, la Cour d\u2019appel de l\u2019Ontario rappelle que cette exigence doit \u00eatre appliqu\u00e9e de fa\u00e7on raisonnable\u00a0:<\/p>\n

\n

[12] \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0(\u2026) Decisions of this and other courts indicate that the phrase means nothing more than that the tests were taken within a reasonably prompt time under the circumstances.\u00a0 (\u2026) There is no requirement that the tests be taken as soon as possible. The touchstone for determining whether the tests were taken as soon as practicable is whether the police acted reasonably. \u00a0(\u2026)<\/p>\n

[13] \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0In deciding whether the tests were taken as soon as practicable, the trial judge should look at the whole chain of events bearing in mind that the\u00a0Criminal Code<\/a><\/em>\u00a0permits an outside limit of two hours from the time of the offence to the taking of the first test. The “as soon as practicable” requirement must be applied with reason. In particular, while the Crown is obligated to demonstrate that \u2014 in all the circumstances \u2014 the breath samples were taken within a reasonably prompt time, there is no requirement that the Crown provide a detailed explanation of what occurred during every minute that the accused is in custody.

[14]\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0(\u2026) \u00a0The requirement that the samples be taken “as soon as practicable” does not mean “as soon as possible”. It means nothing more than that the tests should be administered within a reasonably prompt time in the overall circumstances. \u00a0(\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[116]\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0En d\u00e9cembre 2016, dans\u00a0R.<\/em>\u00a0c.\u00a0Fenske<\/em>[73]<\/a>, la Cour d\u2019appel du Manitoba adopte les principes \u00e9nonc\u00e9s dans\u00a0R<\/em>. c.\u00a0Vanderbruggen<\/em>[74]<\/a>, rappelant que la Cour d\u2019appel de l\u2019Ontario les a \u00e9galement appliqu\u00e9s dans ses d\u00e9cisions plus r\u00e9centes et en pr\u00e9cisant que la poursuite n\u2019a pas \u00e0 prouver pourquoi les ressources polici\u00e8res n\u2019\u00e9taient pas affect\u00e9es autrement dans la mesure o\u00f9 cette organisation ne para\u00eet pas d\u00e9raisonnable dans les circonstances, consid\u00e9rant entre autres l\u2019heure de l\u2019intervention et le fait que c\u2019\u00e9tait en milieu rural.<\/p>\n

[117]\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Il y a ici lieu de conclure que le minist\u00e8re public a prouv\u00e9 par la s\u00e9quence des \u00e9v\u00e9nements que, dans les circonstances, les \u00e9chantillons d\u2019haleine ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9lev\u00e9s d\u00e8s que mat\u00e9riellement possible, les policiers ayant agi de fa\u00e7on raisonnable \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.<\/p>\n
