Mr. Speaker, last week in the House, the Minister of Justice reintroduced her youth criminal justice bill.
Bill C-7 provides for a fairer and more effective system by setting out to prevent youth crime, ensure the reintegration of youth into society and provide for consequences that offer positive outlooks for young people who commit offences.
Above all, this bill offers the required flexibility so that Quebec and the other provinces can continue to pursue the approach they feel is effective for them.
I therefore urge all members of the House to support Bill C-7 and to help develop and maintain the best possible youth criminal justice system.
