... not applicable Note: Excludes cases where amount of fine was not known. In Quebec, most drug offences are recorded under residual federal statutes, resulting in an undercount of drug possession and drug trafficking cases and an overcount of residual federal statute cases. Amount of fine data are presented in current dollars. This trend analysis table does not include data from Manitoba, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Coverage for Adult Criminal Court Survey data for five-year trend analysis (ten jurisdictions) is estimated at 90%.
