Good morning. I would first like to thank the committee for inviting our association to come and present our views on Bill C-4.
My name is Michèle Goyette. I am a criminologist. I have worked in the youth offenders network in Quebec for over 30 years. I am currently the Director of services to young offenders at the Centre de Jeunesse de Montréal. I am a member of the board of directors of the Société de criminologie du Québec and of the Quebec section of the Child Welfare League of Canada. I am here today to represent the Association des centres jeunesse du Québec, to convey our position on Bill C-4.
The Association des centres jeunesse du Québec is an organization of 16 youth centres in the 16 administrative regions of Quebec. Each of the centres offers services for children, youth and their parents, under the Youth Protection Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the provisions of the Civil Code relating to adoption.
There seems to be a problem with the translation.
