Mr. Speaker, I would like to compliment my colleague on a very well delivered speech. He said some great words.
I too have had lots of experience with youth over a 35-year period. Could he explain or comment on his views of the young offender under the age of 12 at that time? How real was it and how informed and knowledgeable was that age of child, anywhere from 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or whatever the age might be as compared to the idea now that they are not accountable?
I would like his comments on the people who were under age 12.
