Thank you.
Ms. McCuaig, you mentioned when you were recounting the story involving your niece and your grandson that the mother of one of the perpetrators had actually hoped that her daughter, I think it was, would have received a custodial sentence earlier in her history of committing crimes.
I also know someone with a similar story. They are good friends of mine who had a son who was going down a path of crime. They're both professionals, so he didn't lack for anything in terms of his home environment. He had a loving environment at home. He had all the resources that anyone could ask for, yet he committed a number of property offences that kept escalating, and they wished that the court would actually hold him in custody so that he could get some attention. Eventually he stole the family car and disappeared for several days with it and committed a number of offences with it, including theft and break and enter, and they called the police on him. He was arrested; he did get that custodial sentence for a little less than two years, and I understand that today he's doing very well. He went on to university, and they're quite proud of the way he was able to turn his life around.
What kinds of programs could these young offenders receive if they were kept in custody for some period of time?
