I am not a lawyer. My suggestion is that you might want to speak to somebody from the Health Law Institute at Dalhousie University specifically about that.
The point I was trying to make in my presentation was essentially that youth are unaware of criminal activity, so even if they are old enough to be charged with an adult criminal offence under the Criminal Code, I am not convinced that they actually understand that. From my perspective, making the information more accessible to youth.... For example, in the case of Rehtaeh Parsons in Nova Scotia, which I'm sure everyone in this room is well aware of, I am not convinced that the youth who were involved actually understood what they were doing and what the circulation of that material meant in that context.
Again, to go back to my original point, I think we can do better to make information more accessible to youth so they understand the potential for criminal sanctions for those types of behaviours.
