St-Amand was arrested after a transport bus crashed into the front of a daycare in Laval, Que., on February 8, 2023, killing two young children, ages five and four, and injuring six others.
In February, a Quebec court judge ruled after a preliminary investigation that there was enough evidence to send the case to trial.
The former Laval transport driver will stand trial on two counts of first degree murder and seven other counts, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.
The case is expected to return to court on June 11.
