Thank you for your kind words.
The federal government had a series of consultations across Canada with different groups and individuals, and I participated in a couple of them, but I think it's fair to say that the consultations that I attended are not fully reflected, and there are some very significant points of divergence between not only what I said but what others said and what is in this bill. I would suggest that some parts of it seem inconsistent not only with the research that I have summarized and others have written about, and the consultations, but also with research in other countries as well. So there are some problematic parts.
I certainly agree there are some young people who do need to be in custody--there's no question about that--but we have to think closely about who we're sending there, why we're sending them there, how long they're there for, and what we are going to do to make sure that when they get out they're less likely to commit offences.
