✦ AI Summary
Bill S-207 aims to change how criminal records are handled in Canada by introducing the concept of 'record expiry'. This means that after a certain period following the completion of a sentence (including fines and probation), a criminal record will automatically expire. This expiry means the conviction will no longer negatively reflect on an individual's character and will remove most legal disqualifications or obligations stemming from that conviction, except for certain serious offences or specific legal requirements.
