Mr. Speaker, I would like to know why the member feels that because we are reacting to a public concern that was indicated by a survey I took with over 3,000 responses received that 90 per cent of my constituents support lowering the age because they are concerned about young people who are falling through the system because they are too young to be given any help because they have made some poor decisions.
How does the hon. member feel that these young people below the ages of 12 will be helped to change the direction they are going if they do not fall under this act?
