I think, as I said in my submission and on behalf of the people we work for, some of those principles are very important. Though taken from the adult system, if you will, some are currently missing from the youth system. It doesn't mean that you can't still treat youth in an age-appropriate way, and the system is much more focused in rehabilitation and reintegration. These are just some considerations that our centre thinks are necessary, especially when we're talking about the commission of serious violent crimes.
