I will be brief, Mr. Speaker.
When I said that I did not want the hon. member to be an alarmist, I respect the concern. I am just saying that we should keep it in context and that basically we have a safe and civilized society.
In terms of timeframe, I have already said that I propose to bring to this House before the end of June specific proposals to
change the Young Offenders Act and, at the same time, to turn it over to the parliamentary committee for its detailed review.
I have said as well that we are going to have legislation before the House before the end of June on other changes to the Criminal Code, including with respect to sentencing. We propose to fulfil that undertaking.
