Mr. Speaker, I certainly agree with the preamble to the member's question.
There is a certain stigmatization that goes with knowing the name of a young offender, especially when he or she has committed a minor crime. That certainly counteracts rehabilitation and reintegration, not only within the youth's community but within school as well. These people get targeted. Little Johnny is a bad boy so we should not associate with him. How can that help with the individual's reintegration into the community?
With regard to serious offences, I have already indicated that names will be and can be published.
