An Act to amend the Criminal Code (sentencing) = Loi modifiant le Code criminel (détermination de la peine).: XB432-289/1-PDF

"This enactment amends the Criminal Code to add, as an aggravating circumstance for sentencing purposes, evidence that an offence was directed at property or persons that were vulnerable because of their remoteness from emergency services and, for the purposes of some offences, the fact that a person carried, used or threatened to use a weapon or an imitation of a weapon. It also requires that a court, when exercising its discretion to grant credit for time spent in custody in determining the sentence to be imposed on a person convicted of an offence, consider the reasons for detaining the person in pre-sentence custody"--Summary.
