I think that it is a good tool. It is a good start, and things will move forward. First of all, we are going to have to look at what is happening in the courts specifically. Everyone takes this very seriously. Public safety organizations and other organizations want to work together to solve this problem, because it has an impact on our youth and on our communities. It is a good start.
As for knowing whether the provisions are exactly the right ones, I prefer not to comment. If these are the provisions that are implemented, we will see how they work out.
But the fact that it is a criminal offence will certainly make our job easier. Currently, we have good partnerships that help us to deal with the situation. The Minister of Finance supports us. He looks at our figures in Cornwall. We make seizures and charges are laid.
I would like to make a quick comment about the fact that a lot of fines remain unpaid. I do not have the exact figures, but I know that recently, a number of magistrates have started giving harsher penalties, given that the people were not paying their fines. This is still a serious problem, but everyone is trying to work together to solve it. For us, this bill is an additional tool.
