Un violation à l'obligation de divulgation de la preuve n'entraîne pas nécessairement une violation au droit à une défense pleine et entière

[65]   However, merely establishing a breach of the Crown’s obligation to disclose does not establish a Charter breach.  Watt J.A. in R. v. Spackman, 2012 ONCA 905 (CanLII), 295 C.C.C. (3d) 177, at para. 111, stated:

111      A breach of the Crown’s disclosure obligations, without more, does not constitute a breach of s. 7 of the Charter. To demonstrate constitutional infringement, and thus entitlement to a just and appropriate remedy, an accused must show actual prejudice to his or her right to make full answer and defence resulted from the infringement: R. v. O’Connor, 1995 CanLII 51 (SCC), [1995] 4 S.C.R. 411, at para. 74;Bjelland, at para. 21.
