Thank you.
Overall, putting more youths in jail in the name of preventing and reducing crime is not going to be the solution at all, because they will come out and they will reoffend. We need to provide services right from the get-go or once they are serving a sentence.
We're concerned with the changes that are going on. I think it is the wrong direction to go in. The Youth Criminal Justice Act as written may have some difficulties, but I think it's an appropriate measure that can be worked within. Rewriting it at this time is the wrong approach.
