   Patrick Brazeau ordered to rehab centre for 2 months   
   Brazeau, 39, charged with impaired care or control of a motor vehicle   
      
      
   Suspended Senator Patrick Brazeau will spend at least two months at a drug and   
   alcohol rehabilitation centre in Quebec's Eastern Townships while awaiting   
   trial on charges he was impaired while in control of a motor vehicle.   
      
   Under release conditions agreed upon in court Tuesday, Brazeau will be released   
   Wednesday and must go to the treatment centre at least until Dec. 8, when he   
   will be re-evaluated.   
      
   His stay at the closed centre could last as long as two years, Crown lawyers   
   said outside the courtroom.

   An officer on a routine patrol arrested the 39-year-old, who allegedly appeared   
   to be intoxicated in the driver's seat of a parked car, on Riviera Street at   
   about 1:40 p.m. ET on Monday.   
      
   A search of the vehicle uncovered a knife, Gatineau police said, and a   
   breathalyzer test at the police station showed the man was two times over the   
   legal blood-alcohol limit.   
      
   The vehicle he was sitting in was impounded for 30 days and Brazeau's driver's   
   licence has been suspended for 90 days, police said.   
      
   Brazeau spent the night at the detention centre in Hull, and appeared in court   
   Tuesday, where he was formally charged with:   
      
   Brazeau's lawyer said he intends to plea not guilty to the charges.   
      
   Last week, Brazeau learned he will stand trial in 2015 on sexual assault and   
   assault charges after a February 2013 incident that led to the former   
   Conservative's ouster from the party caucus.   
      
   That case is separate from an April 2014 incident, after which Brazeau was   
   charged with assault, possession of cocaine, uttering threats and breaching   
   bail conditions following an altercation involving a man and a woman at a home   
   in Gatineau.   
      
   Brazeau also faces charges of fraud and breach of trust in connection with his   
   Senate expense claims. The preliminary hearing in that case will start in June   
   2015.
