Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you to the witnesses for being here.
We've had a great number of witnesses who work in the criminal justice system, specifically with youth, who have suggested, in some cases quite passionately, that this legislation is grossly premature given, really, the recent history of the current youth justice system. I'd ask each one of you for a comment in that regard, if you agree with that and if there are any specific sections in this bill that you think would be useful in enhancing our system and making it more just.
I'll start with you, Ms. Nicolet.
