Mr. Speaker, the proven approach of rehabilitating young offenders was at the heart of the tour throughout Quebec just completed by the member for Berthier—Montcalm and the young actor Marc Beaupré.
And everywhere, the message they heard was the same. All stakeholders in every region are unanimous: Quebec wants nothing to do with the repressive system the federal government is seeking to impose.
Given the intransigence of the Minister of Justice, I appeal to the Prime Minister. Will he rise in the House and assure us that Quebecers' unanimous wish to be allowed to continue to enforce the existing young offenders legislation in Quebec will be respected?
