The imposition of an absolute bar may exclude highly probative evidence and this runs counter to the trend in the law of evidence where flexibility is favoured over rigid rules of exclusion.Une interdiction absolue peut entraîner l'exclusion d'éléments de preuve d'une grande valeur probante, alors que le droit de la preuve tend à privilégier la souplesse plutôt que les règles d'exclusion rigides.http://www.canlii.org/en/ 20.10.2011http://www.canlii.org/en/ 20.10.2011

As noted by Lamer J. in Commisso, any other rule would run counter to the purposes of Part IV. 1; it is the privacy of those intercepted and not the subject-matter of conversations that is protected by Part IV. 1 of the Criminal Code.Comme le note le juge Lamer dans l'arrêt Commisso, toute autre règle serait contraire au but recherché par la partie IV. 1; c'est l'intimité de ceux qui sont écoutés et non l'objet des conversations que protège la partie IV. 1 du Code criminel.http://www.canlii.org/en/ 23.11.2011http://www.canlii.org/en/ 23.11.2011
