Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the member's speeches, both today and previously when he spoke on this issue.
He went on at great length about the diversion program, which has been an excellent program within his community. He also made reference to youth justice committees. I would like to draw to the member's attention that this bill provides for a youth justice committee, as did the previous act, the Young Offenders Act. All of the beneficial aspects which he has brought out are already here.
Can the member respond to that? Has he not read the bill? Is he not aware of clause 18 of the bill? Is he not aware of the comparable section in the Young Offenders Act?
