Mr. Speaker, young offenders come under two pieces of legislation when dealing with sentencing and disposition. One is called the Young Offenders Act, which is the Government of the Northwest Territories' piece of legislation which deals with territorial statutes and legislation, such as the All-Terrain Vehicles Act and the Motor Vehicles Act. Almost all young offenders are dealt with under the federal Young Offenders Act, which deals with all other offences, including offences under the Criminal Code of Canada. These are the only two pieces of legislation that relate to young offenders. Thank you.
