  1. MSO = most serious offence. MSD = most serious disposition. MC = multiple charge. Alberta classifies program commencements using a 'multiple charge' method. This means that an individual commencing a custody program for multiple charges will be counted for each distinct but separate charge. Offence data for Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan have been tabulated using a revised method of determining 'most serious offence' and, as such, comparison to previous years should be made with caution.
  2. Includes the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and other federal statutes.
Notes: Calculations for percent distribution are based on total admissions excluding those where major offence is not known. Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
