What is the test for s.32(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Attorney General of Canada on Behalf ofthe United States of America v. Lane, 2012 ONSC 5404 (CanLII):

The Court of Appeal for Ontario explained the underlying rationale of s.32(2) in United States of America v. McDowell as follows: “…there is good reason for Canada to insist that evidence gathered in Canada conform substantively with our Rules of Evidence. Such a Rule does not place an onerous burden on the requesting partner. It does, however, preserve the integrity of our Justice system by affording fugitives the protection of our laws and values while they remain in Canada. In that way, the Act provides a front-line check on the methods used by both foreign and domestic law enforcement agencies to collect evidence in Canada. (emphasis added).[10]
