Madam Speaker, when I have been in the Yukon in the last while there has been a lot of dissatisfaction with the justice system and there is some fear. However, when there is satisfaction, it is very clear where it is coming from.
The First Nations people have the option of circle sentencing. They still go through a trial procedure, but they have the option of going to their community for circle sentencing where they will have to face their victims, their parents, their aunts, their uncles and the community. That also makes the community responsible for that person. There seems to be a bit of envy that the option is there for some people to serve their sentences in their communities with the support of the people who matter most to them.
Can the member see that sort of situation becoming available to all of us? It does put a lot of responsibility on individuals to follow it through. We cannot just stick the criminal in a jail and pay someone to look after them. It means that they come into our homes, our schools, onto our streets and we are all responsible for them. Can the member see that?
