That is exactly what we were told this morning.
Mr. Weighill, you were saying earlier — and I was pleased to hear it — that the problem will not be solved by more punitive legislation, more jails and more youth in jail. You said we should rather look at the root causes of the problem.
Am I to understand that this view is shared by all of you at the table? We know that amendments to the Young Offenders Act will soon be tabled in the House of Commons because the government wants to establish 10-year minimum sentences for young criminals. What do you think of this proposal?
