Actually, sir, I was in the process, while I travelled here, of learning about that. One thing I found of interest was a province of Alberta publication entitled Alberta Views; the authors indicated that Quebec appears to have policies or procedures that reflect the view that courts are not necessarily the best place to deal with all youthful offenders, so all provinces have some type of diversion or alternative measures program. The point at which the diversion occurs differs.
That's what I've learned to this point, as I continue to pursue the definite differences that seem to exist among the provinces and how that interpretation is made through the courts.
