[13]
Under paragraph 20(1)(b) of the Crimes Act, a court may sentence a person convicted of a federal offence to imprisonment but direct that the person be released, either immediately or after he or she has served a specified period of imprisonment, upon the giving of security that he or she will comply with certain conditions. This type of order is referred to in the Crimes Act as a 'recognizance release order'. It is analogous to a suspended sentence.
