Thank you very much for your comments.
I can only say—and I'm just repeating what I've said in my comments both in the House and here at this committee—that whatever we have now isn't working, Mr. Chairman. Whatever we have now is clearly not working.
I've heard particularly members of the opposition in debate at second reading saying, well, you know, these young people should work with the Legion. I have no problem with that. That's a good thing. My belief is that they're going to have to do it after they've paid $1,000, because essentially that's what we have now. One can say that the retribution is working. Well, it's not working. All you have to do is look at what happened this past November. There were incidents of damage right across this country. How do I know? Because I was interviewed by radio stations all across the country just after incidents happened in their cities.
Mr. Chairman, I believe that working with the Legion is fine, but the judge has the capability of making such an order after they pay at least $1,000.
