[Supply, May 26th, 1998]

Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my colleague from the adjacent constituency. I know he is very knowledgeable about the First Nations in his area. I suspect also that he is well briefed on the native justice system that has developed on the Navajo reserve in the United States. Over the years they have developed a very sophisticated system in terms of dealing with young offenders on their lands.

Is the member aware of that system and, if he is, does he see some use in adapting and adopting some of their practices to what we are considering doing here in Canada?
