Legislative Changes to the Criminal Code (Bill C-25)
Re: Legislative Changes to the Criminal Code (Bill C-25)
On February 22, 2010, Bill C-25, the Truth in Sentencing Act comes into force. The bill amends the Criminal Code (the Code) to limit the credit a judge may grant for any time spent in pre-sentencing custody, commonly called “credit for time served.”

Sorry I had to edit that animal lover. I'd explain via PM but you don't offer that option.

What's the limit? And what's it limited to? Pre trial? Murder charges, theft over 5000, serious crimes , all crimes?
