Mr. Speaker, earlier in the member's comments he suggested that the outfall from the Young Offenders Act resulted in chaos across the country and that it was not good legislation. Does the member mean that it was too tough?
The person who gave the most passionate and constant speeches on that subject was the former member for Berthier—Montcalm who stood up day after day and explained how the old young offenders act worked quite well in Quebec and that we did not need to put in the new provisions. From his perspective it was too tough.
I wonder if the member was referring to that, because from my perspective it was a good compromise. It became tougher on serious crimes but more creative on lesser crimes for first time offenders.
