Mr. Speaker, Bill C-37 which amended the Young Offenders Act did not go far enough. Canadians said it and Reform said it, but the justice minister went ahead with it anyway. Bill C-37 just received royal assent and the committee is already off on another mission to uncover the inadequacies of his improved act.
For years Canadians have been telling governments what is wrong with the YOA but governments will not listen. The minister did not listen to witnesses appearing before the committee last time. What assurance can he give them that he will listen this time?
