No it wasn't stated how much dead time was served. FRom experience it sounds like they received time served for their ead time. In the provincial system a judge will take each day of dead time as two days of regular time. If the sentence was only three months then I would expect that the dead time was around 45 days.

I found this article on the Government of Alberta website. It's a 2004 article. Can anyone find any updated information?
NATIONAL SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
The Government of Alberta has consistently supported a national sex offender registry. Premier Ralph Klein raised the issue at the 2001 Western Premiers meeting. Officials from Alberta Solicitor General and Alberta Justice appeared before the House of Commons Justice Committee in spring 2003 to ask Parliament to include a broader range of offenders than originally called for. There are about 30 designated offences. When an offender has been convicted of a designated offence, the Crown can then apply for a court order requiring the offender to report to a designated registration centre. Alberta registration centres are all municipal and First Nations police headquarters and all municipal and rural RCMP detachments. The offender is required to provide specific and limited information (such as name and address) to be included in the registry. The duration of the order may be 10 years, 20 years or life depending on the maximum imprisonment term for the designated offence. The reporting period may well extend beyond any custodial or community sentence. The information collected will be sent to the central Sex Offender Registration Centre Alberta (SORCA), operated by the RCMP, which will register it with the National Sex Offender Registry Database housed within CPIC, the Canadian Police Information Centre. Public access to the registry is not available. Any information, its use and disclosure, is restricted and may only be accessed by police when investigating a sex crime. The offender must report in person within 15 days of an order or release from custody; within 15 days of changing main or secondary residence; within 15 days after changing given name or surname. The offender must also report in person to a registration centre if planning to be absent from his primary or secondary residence for 15 consecutive days; before leaving Canada and within 15 days of returning to Canada. The offender must also report between 11 months and one year after they last reported. Alberta expects to register 500-600 new sex offender files a year - or about two per day. About 900 sex offenders are already serving sentences at time of proclamation. Alberta Justice has one year to serve notice of obligation to register. Some may go to court to make a case to be excluded from the reporting requirements. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
