Note:
- Adult Criminal Court Survey data are not reported by Manitoba, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
- The conditional sentence of imprisonment option came into effect under Bill C-41 in September 1996. When a conditional sentence is imposed, the offender serves their sentence in the community under supervision. The Adult Criminal Court Survey (ACCS) began collecting data on conditional sentences in 1998/99 from Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and Alberta. Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and the Yukon began reporting conditional sentencing data to the Adult Criminal Court Survey (ACCS) from 1999/00, and New Brunswick and British Columbia from 2001/02. Quebec does not report conditional sentencing data at this time. |
