It was.
If I may, we've had some difficulties because of the shortness of time, and that was really all I wanted to be sure of or to be clear on, that you were not suggesting mandatory minimum penalties apply to young offenders. If that is the answer to my question--and that seems to be the case--I do have some others that I would like to move on to.
The second question I wanted to address, Monsieur Fournier, has to do with the issue of replacing long-term protection of the public with short-term protection of the public.
I'll begin by asking you, because I know you are aware of bail hearings, if you think it is a legitimate factor for a judge to, among other things, consider on a bail hearing that detention of a violent and out-of-control young offender might be justified, even if only for the short-term protection of the public.
