Mr. Speaker, the bill on young offenders is not short on contradictions. For example, the French version of the statement of principles in Bill C-68 alludes to the positive perspectives and social reintegration of adolescents, while the English version refers to the meaningful consequences of the crimes committed by young offenders.
Considering the fundamental contradiction that exists between these two principles, could the minister tell us which version will guide the courts: the French one or the English one?
