pour cause


Explanation:
pour cause (locution) = pour d'excellentes raisons.

La Compagnie effectuera des tests de drogues et d’alcool « pour cause » quant il y a une base raisonnable de suspecter que la sécurité a été compromise par la consumation de drogues ou d’alcool.

pour motif raisonnable


Explanation:
Ce "motif raisonnable" relève des principes de Common Law, totalement différents de ceux du droit pénal français (ou de souche latine - romaine)

http://www.ccsa.ca/Resource Library/CCSA-Random-Breath-Testi...

Dans de nombreux pays du monde, recourir à l’alcootest pour mesurer le taux d’alcoolémie est maintenant une pratique courante dans l’application des lois sur la conduite avec facultés affaiblies. Au Canada, si un policier a des motifs raisonnables de croire qu’un conducteur a bu de l’alcool, il peut lui demander de fournir un échantillon d’haleine dans un appareil de détection approuvé. La politique de l’alcootest « aléatoire » ou « obligatoire » donne aux policiers le pouvoir d’astreindre en tout temps un conducteur à fournir un échantillon d’haleine pour en analyser la teneur en alcool, et ce, même en l’absence de motif raisonnable.
