Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure to present two petitions to the House today. The first one deals with the Young Offenders Act.
The petitioners recognize the serious flaws within the Young Offenders Act. They call on the Government of Canada to make some serious changes to the act, including the lowering of the age limits which define a young offender to include children between the ages of 10 and 15.
They also call on the government to amend the act to allow for the publication of the names of young offenders after a second indictable offence.
