Pierre Ny St-Amand — the bus driver accused of intentionally ramming a Laval daycare with a city bus, killing two children — has been found fit to stand trial. A separate evaluation will determine if he is criminally responsible for his actions.

Two children were killed when a city bus was driven into the front of a Laval daycare centre Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023.

St-Amand appeared in a Laval courtroom on Friday, accompanied by four special constables. His hair was trimmed and his eyes were open, in stark comparison to his last appearance, when he appeared delirious and dishevelled. "Today, we received the report and for us and for the Crown it was clear he was fit," said Julien Lespérance Hudon, St-Amand's lawyer. "Initially, as we saw, he had difficulty communicating and responding to questions. Today, in the courtroom, he was much more present and able to understand what was going on."

But Lespérance Hudon asked the judge to order a different evaluation, this one to determine whether St-Amand can be held criminally responsible for his actions.
