Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Yet again, I'm extremely concerned by what I'm hearing today, particularly with regard to reunification camps. Personally, I'd call them reform camps. Everyone knows that reform camps are places where they try to re‑educate young people and train them the hard way. It's very worrying. It's quite simply the tangent our study has taken up to now, and that's what we're very concerned about, as parliamentarians.
Ms. Heslop, what can you tell us about these camps? Are the professional associations not a little concerned about what's happening there? Has anyone raised a red flag about what's going on? Should we send in the police or youth services? I'm very concerned by what we're hearing today and by what we've heard throughout our study.
We're talking about corporal punishment. I wouldn't say we're talking about sexual punishment but when you force a child to hug and kiss their father, when there's currently a movement towards consent, there's a problem.
What should we do? It takes time to amend legislation or change attitudes and practices. Training judges and lawyers takes time. I get the feeling that it's ingrained in the way things are done.
Starting now, how can we create positive change?
