Canada's Supreme Court upheld impaired driving convictions, ruling breath test results are admissible if calibration is properly documented.
The Supreme Court of Canada upheld two impaired driving convictions, affirming that breath test results are admissible evidence when proper calibration procedures are documented.
The court ruled that a qualified technician’s certificate confirming a calibration check is sufficient to prove accuracy, without requiring direct evidence from an analyst.
It also held that while the target calibration range must be disclosed, the Crown does not need to prove the exact value was met, aligning with Parliament’s 2018 goal to streamline prosecutions.
The decision reinforces the reliability of breath testing in impaired driving cases across Canada.
