I'm not sure it is, but I'll take your word for it. I appreciate the distinction you're trying to draw here. To be candid about it, frankly, I just assumed that if you were under the Criminal Records Act, you were automatically on CPIC. That's helpful in that respect.
Having said that, the fact that I can respond to “Do you have a criminal offence?” and an employer actually can't check me out because I'm not on CPIC, as opposed to actually having a criminal record, may be one for lawyers, but not entirely for the rest of us.
