That is what the research shows.
I do understand the concern that some young people may need secure facilities, but those can be facilities other than we have in our jails. If you look at the evaluation that was done across the country of the application of the current act, the plea was for a wider range of good programming to deal with young people.
There's a study in B.C. that 50% of the young people who came into the criminal justice system there were part of the child welfare system. So we need to deal with a whole range of matters regarding these young people. That's what the plea is of people who work with them across the country. Just changing the law isn't going to address that.
That's why our plea is to focus on implementing what we have now, and then evaluating it thoroughly and looking at adjustments.
