In any event, to impose a criteria that is already in the act, the following principle is being withdrawn with regard to sentencing:
(a) the youth criminal justice system is intended to prevent crime by addressing the circumstances underlying a young person's offending behaviour, rehabilitate young persons who commit offences and reintegrate them into society, and ensure that a young person is subject to meaningful consequences for his or her offence, in order to promote the long-term protection of the public;
In fact, doesn't the amendment dispense with this principle? It may be included in the proposed paragraph 3(1)(a)(ii), but more as an incentive measure, and not as an objective sought by the act.
