The challenge to the offense issued by the Committee on Standards, Equity, Health and Occupational Safety (CNESST) in the Sherbrooke Food Valuation Center (CVA) Center (CVA) (CVA) is suspended.

The trial was to start next Monday and last until February 3.

According to the registry of the Sherbrooke courthouse, the CVA asked for the delivery of this procedure on a later date due to the criminal charges against its president Ashley Wallis, which was accepted by the court.

No deadline is provided for a possible resumption of this procedure.

Let us remember that the CVA contest before the Court of Quebec the offense which was given to him by the Cness.

In its pursuit, the Cness maintains that the company directly and seriously compromised the health, safety or physical or mental integrity of a worker during the explosion of the building.

The CVA was completely destroyed on March 23, 2022 following a violent explosion that injured five. It is a propane leak which is at the origin of the blaze.

Criminal procedures against Ashley Wallis will continue on April 2 at the Sherbrooke courthouse, for an accusation of negligence fire.
