Do your best to include any information you can regarding each charge. The ARO already have the technical information from the RCMP and court records, but they would like to know your personal insight on each conviction. Your application will be judged based on the information you provide, therefore providing no information means you are not submitting a strong application.
They want to ensure you are of good character and not at risk of re-offending.
