I consulted with our youth council and talked to them about this before we drafted the letter that we submitted to the committee. In fact, it seems that young people don't think about the consequences. They weren't really interested in the topic and hadn't really thought about security issues.
I think the consultations should include an education component. If we want young people to get involved and have informed opinions, they need to know what's going on. I am sure that some young people are aware of this but, generally speaking, they haven't given it much thought.
