Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member is probably aware, when one deals with the publication of names and young offenders one is dealing with two important and competing values in society. One is obviously the public's right to know and the value that we place on open courts in our society.
However, the other value, and I know the hon. member is well aware of this, is the fact that we believe young people are capable of rehabilitation and that young people are different and at a different stage of maturity and development than adults.
In fact, it is for us a case of balancing those competing values. We believe that in our new youth criminal justice legislation we have balanced effectively those competing values.
