"Amnesty Act, 1 February 1849, offered a
pardon to all those involved in the 1837-38 REBELLIONS.
It originated March 1838, when a conditional pardon was extended to
minor participants. In 1843, with Colonial Office authority, Governor
General Metcalfe issued a special pardon to any exiled rebels who
petitioned. By early 1844 all 58 rebels who wanted to end their exile
had received pardons, and in January 1845 they began returning to
Canada from Australia and Bermuda. That year Louis-Joseph PAPINEAU,
in exile in France since 1839, also returned. Four years later, the
Baldwin-LaFontaine ministry introduced its amnesty bill. Only William
Lyon MACKENZIE,
the one rebel who had not been given a special pardon in 1843, returned
to Canada under the Act."

1. A federal legislative amnesty provides protection from prosecution and conviction for specific criminal offences anywhere in Canada during a specified time period. These are sometimes referred to as "general amnesties". A national public information campaign and weekly statistical updates to the media normally support this type of amnesty. In the past, the federal government also has provided amnesty forms (receipt, tracking, statistical reporting, and disposal) for use by all law enforcement agencies that receive amnesty firearms.
2. A provincial administrative amnesty is an agreement by the Solicitor General and/or the Attorney General (or their counterparts) of a province/territory to not prosecute in their province/territory for certain possession offences. Ministerial statements provide the reasons for the amnesty and define its time periods. A series of media announcements by the province/territory usually support this type of amnesty. During a provincial amnesty, law enforcement agencies generally use either the federal amnesty tracking forms, if they are available, or the property reporting system in use at the law enforcement agency receiving the firearms.
3. A local amnesty is an agreement between the Chief of Police and the Crown Attorney to not prosecute for certain possession offences during specified time periods. The limits on a local amnesty are that it applies to the municipal jurisdiction only, is locally designed and managed, and must be locally accepted.
4. A "Guns for Goods" amnesty is a local reward program
where a person turning in a firearm receives a "good" in return. The
"good" ranges from tickets to sporting events to products donated by
manufacturers and retailers in the community. "Guns for Goods"
amnesties were popular throughout North America in the early nineties,
although
they produced mixed results. In some areas the value of the goods to be
given
out for a firearm was so high that crimes were committed to obtain
firearms. In
others, mail order shopping brought guns into an area just for the
amnesty,
again for the goods being offered."

"Il existe quatre genres communs d'amnistie :
1. L'amnistie législative fédérale prévoit une protection contre les poursuites et les condamnations pour certaines infractions criminelles partout au Canada au cours d'une certaine période. Elle est aussi connue sous le nom « d'amnistie générale ». Une campagne nationale d'information publique et des mises à jour hebdomadaires de statistiques à l'intention des média appuient généralement ce genre d'amnistie. Par le passé, le gouvernement fédéral a également fourni à tous les organismes responsables de l'application de la loi qui reçoivent des armes à feu des formulaires d'amnistie (réception, suivi, rapport statistique et disposition).
2. L'amnistie administrative provinciale est une entente intervenue entre le Solliciteur général et le procureur général (ou entre les ministres compétents) d'une province / d'un territoire selon laquelle aucune poursuite ne sera intentée dans leur province ou territoire pour certaines infractions de possession. Les déclarations ministérielles énoncent les motifs de l'amnistie et définissent sa durée. Une série d'annonces médiatiques faites par la province ou le territoire vient généralement appuyer ce genre d'amnistie. Au cours d'une amnistie provinciale, les organismes responsables de l'application de la loi se servent habituellement soit des formulaires de suivi des amnisties fédérales, si ils sont disponibles, soit du système de déclaration de biens qu'ils utilisent couramment.
3. L'amnistie locale est une entente intervenue entre le chef de police et le procureur de la Couronne selon laquelle certaines infractions de possession ne feront pas l'objet de poursuites pendant certaines périodes. Les restrictions ou les mesures de contrôle d'une amnistie locale ne s'appliquent qu'à un ressort municipal, sont élaborées à l'échelle locale et doivent être acceptées par la localité.
4. L'amnistie prévoyant un bien en échange d'une
arme à feu est
un programme local de récompense selon lequel une personne qui
remet une arme
à feu reçoit un « bien » en
échange. Il peut s'agir tant de
billets pour des activités sportives que de produits
donnés par des fabricants
et des détaillants dans la communauté. Ce genre
d'amnistie, qui a gagné en
popularité au début des années 1990 dans toute
l'Amérique du Nord, a
donné des résultats mixtes. À certains endroits,
la valeur du bien donné en
échange de l'arme à feu était si
élevée que certains sont allés jusqu'à
commettre des crimes pour se procurer des armes à feu; tandis
qu'à d'autres
endroits, les armes à feu achetées par commande postale
ont fait leur
apparition juste pour l'amnistie, toujours en prévision d'un
échange
avantageux."

2. A provincial administrative amnesty is an agreement by the Solicitor General and/or the Attorney General (or their counterparts) of a province/territory to not prosecute in their province/territory for certain possession offences. Ministerial statements provide the reasons for the amnesty and define its time periods. A series of media announcements by the province/territory usually support this type of amnesty. During a provincial amnesty, law enforcement agencies generally use either the federal amnesty tracking forms, if they are available, or the property reporting system in use at the law enforcement agency receiving the firearms."
-----------"Il existe quatre genres communs d'amnistie :
2. L'amnistie administrative provinciale est une entente
intervenue
entre le Solliciteur général et le procureur
général (ou entre les ministres
compétents) d'une province / d'un territoire selon laquelle
aucune
poursuite ne sera intentée dans leur province ou territoire pour
certaines
infractions de possession. Les déclarations
ministérielles énoncent les
motifs de l'amnistie et définissent sa durée. Une
série d'annonces
médiatiques faites par la province ou le territoire vient
généralement
appuyer ce genre d'amnistie. Au cours d'une amnistie provinciale, les
organismes responsables de l'application de la loi se servent
habituellement
soit des formulaires de suivi des amnisties fédérales, si
ils sont disponibles,
soit du système de déclaration de biens qu'ils utilisent
couramment."

distinguent selon qu'elle est prononcée avant ou après la
condamnation. Dans le premier cas, son effet majeur est
d'empêcher le dépôt d'une accusation contre le

soit déjà déposé, auquel cas le tribunal ne
