That's right. As with all Criminal Code offences, the Youth Criminal Justice Act applies completely, and in no way compromises any of the provisions. You'll remember that in my opening remarks I set out some of the philosophy with respect to the Youth Criminal Justice Act to rehabilitate young people, to assist them and to get them reintegrated back into the community, and this bill in no way compromises any of the powers within the Youth Criminal Justice Act. That's the reason I mentioned it in my opening remarks, Mr. Chair. I wanted that to be very clear so that there's no misunderstanding: the Youth Criminal Justice Act and all its provisions—all its provisions—will continue to apply.
