Justice committee  Yes, but—

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  Who have re-offended.

Justice committee  Maxime Labonté was not the only one.

Justice committee  There were eleven.

Justice committee  We are well aware of that, but it does not prevent us from recognizing that the act can include some good points to address all that. Let us say that I have followed the matter closely enough to know that, of those young people, two others were minors. Even if they were all adults, I would still have the right to support a bill that deals with the offenders despite the fact that it does not change anything for those who killed Sébastien.

Justice committee  Yes, exactly, and like many other things.

Justice committee  Yes. It was Rubens Alexandre, one of my boy's attackers, who did that. Naturally, there were no consequences because the kids did not want to file a complaint. They said that nothing would come of it.

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  Perhaps it wouldn't have changed anything in his case. However, I feel that it is the future that matters right now. Nothing can bring Sébastien back. For me, the future is what is important. I find that we are not strict enough towards young people nowadays. Yes, I am aware that it would not have changed much in our case, but that does not take away...

Justice committee  Thank you very much. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Line Lacasse, and I am accompanied by my husband, Luc Lacasse. We are the parents of Sébastien Lacasse, who was murdered on August 8, 2004, by a group of young offenders in Laval. He was only 19 years old. Our son was taken from us in a very violent way by a dozen youths without scruples and without respect for life.
