  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA Quebec man who drove a bus into a Montreal-area daycare in 2023, killing two children and injuring six others, has asked the Court of Appeal to overturn his high-risk offender designation.\n\nPierre Ny St-Amand was found not criminally responsible by Quebec Superior Court Judge Eric Downs in April 2025.\n\nThe judge labelled Ny St-Amand a high-risk offender last March.\n\nNy St-Amand’s lawyers filed their appeal on April 15.\n\nThey argue that labelling those who are not criminally responsible as high-risk offenders should be unconstitutional and violates their Charter rights.\n\nNy St-Amand’s lawyers also say the restrictions imposed on those designated as high-risk offenders prevent their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.\n\nThey add that Ny St-Amand has been willing to follow all recommended medical treatment following his psychosis in 2023 and that he has shown remorse.\n\nNy St-Amand is currently detained at the Philippe-Pinel psychiatric hospital in Montreal.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published May 5, 2026.\n\n_By Erika Morris | Copyright 2026, The Canadian Press.
