I have a simple question, Mr. Minister. It deals with the section of the bill amending section 333.1 of the Criminal Code. Let us suppose that a young offender 16- or 17-years old has been convicted after being prosecuted by indictment, however, after having reached the age of 18, he commits a third offence which is also prosecuted by indictment. Would the mandatory penalty apply to that 18-year old, to that adult who just attained the age of 18?
