Thank you, Madam Speaker. To follow up on my colleague's questions about shoplifting which was featured in a local paper last week, in the article the police were quoted as saying, "First-time offenders are not usually the problem, and the sheer terror of being found out and reported is usually enough to stop many first-time offenders from ever shoplifting again." But there's an indication there that habitual shoplifters are a growing problem in Yellowknife. Perhaps, Madam Speaker, we need to take a look at whether the punishment fits the crime. Obviously, currently, punishment is not providing a
disincentive for those who are convicted. I was wondering if the Minister could advise what the Department of Justice is doing to encourage the federal review of the effectiveness of punishments for this crime -- the crime of shoplifting -- in light of its growing frequency.
