Mr. Speaker, the third petition deals with the Young Offenders Act.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to amend the Young Offenders Act to reflect the changing character of young offenders by increasing the maximum penalty for first and second degree murder from five to ten years, allowing the publication of the young offender's name after a second indictable offence
and lowering the age limits that define a young offender to include those children between the ages of 10 and 15.
