Mr. Speaker, I am not interested in jailing 10 year olds, but there has been no change.
Canadians have been demanding a change to cover 10 to 15 year olds. The justice committee recommended that 10 and 11 year olds be held criminally responsible for their crimes, not sent to jail. In order to rehabilitate these children we have to get them within the system before it is too late for them.
Why did the minister refuse to listen to the demands of Canadians to get these kids into the system so they can get the help they need?
