Mr. Speaker, I have a petition on the Young Offenders Act that is signed by 440 constituents in my area.
This is based on an incident where two young alleged thieves were caught breaking into cars in a parking lot. They tried to run down a witness. They did not conceal their names from the police. They were quite free to give them because they knew they could not be prosecuted because of their ages. Because of this, the petitioners request that the Young Offenders Act either be abolished or revised so that the rights of ordinary citizens come ahead of the rights of young offenders of this sort.
