Mr. Speaker, I have a short question but first I want to make a brief comment. This morning, I have the impression that Reform Party members have, in their press clippings, a lot of articles taken from Photo Police . I do not know if this kind of weekly exists in Western Canada, but this is the impression I get when I hear these descriptions of the terrible things that are happening.
I cannot agree with them. The Bloc's position was presented earlier and will later be explained in further detail by the hon. member for Berthier-Montcalm. As far as I am concerned, making criminals of younger children will not solve the problem. Does the member agree that we should have a proactive approach and provide support to young people, so that they do not end up doing things like that?
The question raised earlier by the hon. member was a call for the Liberal government to provide assistance and create direct employment programs to keep our young people busy and give them jobs. Again, I do not think that we will solve the problem by making criminals of younger children. I would like to see the two opposition parties work together and convince the Liberal government to take proactive measures instead of sending young people to jail.
