Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for the question. I have read the existing legislation and I am also very cognizant of the new proposed legislation.
When the government launched the strategy to look into the whole youth justice initiative and the renewal we are now presenting we certainly looked at the Quebec model as a model that had a lot to offer in terms of what it represented for Canada and Canadians, wherever they are.
So it is that we incorporated those kinds of facets into the new legislation, recognizing that we have a lot to share and a lot to offer. We did so in a spirit of co-operation, knowing that for young people across Canada we could bring the best from all areas including Quebec and do so in a very positive way.
That is exactly what we have done. We have done the kinds of things that are necessary for our young people to put systems in place that benefit them and society as a whole.
