I do. With respect to those areas of provincial jurisdiction, you heard your colleague, Mr. Murphy, who was asking why I am leaving it up to the provinces with respect to certain age requirements. I did hear that the provinces that are in the business of administering this law--of having the detention centres and everything that goes with this--want a certain flexibility.
As you can see, there is that discretion and judgment placed in there, and I think that's appropriate. Ultimately, even though we write the laws at the federal level and we have a huge responsibility with respect to the criminal justice system, for the most part it's administered by our colleagues at the provincial level. I'm very respectful of that.
As you say, I did go right across this country and I did have the opportunity to hear slightly different approaches, but there were some common elements. As I pointed out in my opening comments, sometimes some simplification was wanted with respect to the complexity of the law. There was a concern about a relatively small group of violent repeat offenders, and this came across loud and clear across the country.
As one of your colleagues pointed out about the Nunn report, that's one set of recommendations, but we try to get recommendations from Canadians right across the country. This bill is a good reflection of those consultations.
