Thank you.
I want to get back to this issue of youth, the Nunn commission, Theresa McEvoy, particular circumstances, all.... And maybe as the éminence grise, Mr. Trudell, you could reinforce for us why children, youths, are to be treated in a separate system. It seems to me that the first go at YCJA reform was to move basically the Youth Criminal Justice Act into the Criminal Code, or actually make it the same because they were putting in principles in section 718 that made it like grown-up....
In this new law, however, the crafting is so that I think there are a number of ways in which judicial discretion will determine, as it does now, whether certain crimes and certain individuals will be treated as adults, either at trial or after. So we need to hear evidence, I think, as it pertains to youth.
I haven't got to you, Mr. Henry, but you could perhaps relate to this too. Some individuals grow up quickly and get matured by circumstances, and they ought to be treated perhaps differently.
I'd like both of you to comment on that, because we're going to struggle with this.
