Do I disclose sponsor's criminal record?

Hello!
My 58-year-old Canadian husband sponsor spent a few hours in jail when he was 18 for marijuana possession in Canada. He was later pardoned. This is never asked on his IMM1344 form. Do I need to disclose it on my Schedule A Background Declaration IMM 5669? It asks "Have I (principal applicant), or any of my family members listed on my application for permanent residence in Canada ever been detained, incarcerated, or put in jail?"

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No, you don't need to. The Schedule A is about PA and any qualified dependent's background history. It is nothing to do with sponsor (your Canadian husband).
