✦ AI Summary
Bill C-246 proposed changes to the Criminal Code of Canada regarding sentencing for sexual offences. The bill aimed to ensure that if someone is convicted of multiple sexual offences, any prison sentences for those offences must be served one after the other (consecutively), rather than at the same time. This would apply even if the sentences are imposed at the same time or if the person is already serving another sentence for a sexual offence.
