Bill S-207, An Act to amend the Criminal Records Act, introduces the concept of 'record expiry' for criminal records. This means that after a certain period following the completion of a sentence, a conviction will no longer reflect negatively on an individual's character. It also requires that the record be kept separate from other criminal records and removes certain legal disqualifications or obligations tied to the conviction under federal law.
