Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. He raises a very serious issue.
As I believe the hon. member knows, I have made a promise that I will be tabling in this House in the coming weeks a response to the report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights on youth justice. The hon. member raises a very important point. I hope he will work with us when I table the response. We in this country are all very concerned that we ensure we have a youth justice system that first and foremost protects the public of this country.
