Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I rise on behalf of the constituents of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt to present a petition.
The petition contains thousands of signatures from my riding, from Canadians who are concerned about rising violent crime among young offenders.
Therefore, the petitioners pray and request that Parliament change the Young Offenders Act to reflect the concerns of citizens of Canada by lowering the age limit, transferring those accused of crimes of violence to adult court and publishing the identity of violent criminal offenders.
