1. Remand admissions exclude remands involving short periods of incarceration as these are managed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). This may explain why longer remand stays are reported in this province.
2. Sentenced and remand counts include residents of Nunavut held under an exchange of service agreement.
