The multi -registist in driving alcohol had been sentenced to five years in penitentiary in July 2023 and a 15 -year -old driving ban. He had obtained a semi-freedom in the fall of 2024.
“The Commission does not lose sight of the seriousness of your crimes and the trauma you have caused,” said CLCC in its decision.
For the commissioners, Daniel Matteau does not present “an unacceptable risk for society” with total parole and its release will contribute to the protection of society by promoting its social reintegration as a citizen respectful of laws.
In his analysis, the Commission notes that Daniel Matteau has demonstrated his ability to respect his special conditions and that there have been “measurable and observable progress” in the understanding and management of its risk factors.
In April 2023, the 59 -year -old man took the wheel with a blood alcohol level almost 2.5 times higher than the permitted limit.

After making a U-turn, his van would have circulated in the opposite direction on the highway 55 for several kilometers before the accident which was fatal in Firmin on the kilometer 204, on the territory of Saint-Étienne-des-Grès.
During his semi-liberty, Daniel Matteau had to submit to a therapy, the CLCC takes it into account in its decision of ten pages.
“As part of your therapy, you have been able to demonstrate your ability to use adaptive strategies in order to better manage your emotions. Nevertheless, a certain work remains to be done in this regard, ”we can read.
We also note that Matteau today demonstrates a good understanding of her delinquency cycle and his risk factors.
The Canada’s Conditional Liberations Commission also analyzed the 59 -year -old man exit plan. He proposed to live in a trusted person, to work, to be able to count on the support of friends and to continue to achieve the objectives of his correctional plan with criminological follow -up and by his correctional program.
“You have an exit plan that will allow you to continue your reinstatement,” said the Commission.
“You have been able to demonstrate during the exercise of your exit privileges that you are able to manage your risk factors in a less restrictive framework,” we continue.
We can read in the decision that Daniel Matteau has walked during his semi-freedom. It is estimated that his progress with regard to his risk factors, his understanding of his delinquency cycle, his conformism and his general collaboration “all campaign in favor of a granting of a total parole”.
No condition or prescription was noted according to the report.
Daniel Matteau will also have to comply with several conditions related to “its risk factors”. Special conditions deemed “reasonable and necessary” by the Commission for the protection of the public and the success of its social reintegration.
He will not be able to communicate directly with the family of victims.
It will also be forbidden to him to consume to obtain or have alcohol. He will not be able to enter an establishment where alcohol sales or consumption is the main source of income.
“Alcohol consumption is directly linked to your offense and your criminal history includes other convictions related to drunk driving. Alcohol is clearly involved in the perpetration of present crimes when you were strongly poisoned by alcohol at the time of the facts. Alcohol consumption will increase your risk of recurrence, ”notes the commission.
Total parole will be effective at the expiration of its six-month-old semi-freedom period
