==== c) Post-Conviction ====
There are certain arguments that can only be made post-conviction. One example of this is entrapment.  In entrapment a conviction is entered but not recorded until the court determines whether or not allowing the conviction to stand would constitute an abuse of court process, because the commission of the offence was the result of police conduct which induced the accused to commit the offence. See ''[https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/2020/2020scc11/2020scc11.html?autocompleteStr=r%20v%20ahmad&autocompletePos=2 R v Ahmad]'', 2020 SCC 11 for more information.
