Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here.
We really don't have much time, given that this is a very complex, important problem. It is important from the standpoint of human nature, but even more so since the advent of the computer and Internet age. It is a problem that I never had to face as a parent, but I can see that it will be quite a different matter for my children.
FIrst off, I want to point out that I have a background in criminal law. I only practised in that field of law. I observed that as a rule the problem involved a certain type of offender. When they have a criminal record, usually this is the only type of crime involved, although some are also dishonest.
Is it your opinion that people who commit these types of crime are deviant or suffer from a mental disorder? If so, if they cannot be completely cured, are there at least some treatments available to curb this kind of delinquent behaviour?
If anyone would like to answer my question, go right ahead.
