In the Youth Criminal Justice Act, this measure refers to referring young people to basically crime prevention or support mechanisms in the community. This isn't necessarily an accountability measure under the act. For example, if there's a perception that there may be some mental health conditions, the young person is referred to a mental health system in the community. There's no club of a criminal justice sanction being held over the young person's head if they are having trouble complying with a mental health regime, and the purpose is to make sure that we're not punishing the needy rather than the culpable.
Let me give you an example. We are very concerned about too many young people with mental health conditions defaulting into the criminal justice system because services may not be there for that. We actually had a recent forum with police officers and mental health officials to try to encourage them to understand and know the mental health resources in their communities so that they could refer these young people to those mental health resources, rather than charging them and bringing them into the justice system.
