The essence of criminal conspiracy is proof of agreement to do an unlawful act, or to do a lawful act by unlawful means. There must be an intention to agree, the completion of an agreement, and a common design. A conspiracy must involve more than one person, even though all the conspirators may not either be identified, or be capable of being convicted. Further, each of the conspirators must have a genuine intention to participate in the agreement. 3, record 2, English, - conspiracy

Le complot criminel ne réside pas dans l'intention des parties de commettre l'infraction, mais dans l'entente conclue en vue de perpétrer un acte illégal ou d'accomplir un acte légal par des moyens illégaux. Pour qu'il y ait complot criminel, l'intention de conclure une entente, la conclusion de cette entente et l'existence d'un projet commun de commettre un acte illégal sont essentiels. Ce sont les éléments constitutifs du complot. 3, record 2, French, - complot
