I would certainly support what Professor Doob just said. I have a couple of additional comments.
I don't think Mr. King referred to it, but in American prisons there are major issues with gang membership. In a number of institutions, many institutions, the gangs are running the institution, particularly in the west in the States, in the midwest. We've started seeing in the last number of years in Canada the same kinds of issues starting to grow, though not at the same level.
I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be in prison, but simply imprisoning them, removing them from the community, doesn't solve the gang issue. In fact, I think there is some evidence that would show that some of the gangs are actually born and go back into the community after. I don't know if we're going to solve it in a simple fashion. I don't think one particular mandatory sentence is going to change anything.
The reality, for me, at least, is that being a gang member, the individual, who may not have any other reason...it gives them stature, and it gives them stature in that particular group, which is basically and usually a violent group. We need to somehow focus on replacing that kind of reward situation with a more lawful one, and that is not easy. It's very difficult. Obviously, our friends in the States have been working on this, and Canada has been working on this. It's related to root causes and all kinds of factors. We don't have a silver bullet, to use the old expression, on how to solve these kinds of problems. We have to keep working on it.
