It's a good question. I didn't look at that specifically. I know there's a different provision in section 745.1 that deals with the sentencing of young offenders. The offence here would be covered as first-degree murder. In addition to having this added punishment, I would imagine that it would be treated as first-degree murder for young offenders, but it's something that the committee should perhaps look at to make sure there hasn't been some oversight in terms of sentencing young offenders.
