Well Pardon Me! Sask Party MLA claims his federal pardon was by act of parliament - turns out it was routine
"(Serge) Leclerc, who represents Saskatoon Northwest, has been convicted of serious crimes relating to involvement with gangs and drugs. His criminal file was sealed when he was granted a pardon by the National Parole Board in February 2000. Leclerc claimed in his autobiography, Untwisted, that his pardon was an extraordinary move, entailing a special act of Parliament. But Leclerc's parole board document indicates it was a routine pardon as per the conditions laid out in the Criminal Records Act." CBC Saskatchewan
