Madam Speaker, it is a privilege to present a petition on behalf of constituents from Kamloops, Chase, Savona, Pinatan, Knutsford, Little Fort, Barriere, Birch Island, Monte Creek, Pritchard, Monte Lake, Westwold, Blue River and Clearwater.
These constituents point out their concerns regarding the Young Offenders Act. They suggest that the act as currently enacted is inadequate for the needs of a modern society. They are asking Parliament to review the Young Offenders Act and take the necessary steps to ensure appropriate sentencing, better post-custody supervision and more effective rehabilitation programs.
