Mr. Chair, the purpose of this amendment is to ensure that crimes committed by minors with a firearm are considered violent offences. Up until now, these crimes have been considered non-violent offences. However, we think anything involving a firearm should be considered a violent offence. Pretrial detention should therefore be considered in these cases. That's why we're including them by means of BQ‑10, which you have in front of you.
That's in the definition of “violent offence”. I'm sorry, it's 12:15 a.m., so my thoughts might be a bit muddled. The idea is to include offences committed by minors and involving a firearm in the definition of “violent offence”.
I have nothing more to add on that.
