Mr. Speaker, I have seen what has happened through the federal justice system with regard to the Youth Justice Act, which we had to find alternate means of sentencing for youth criminal offences than strictly jail. I feel that this government has to do more than strictly apprehend children. We have to find alternatives to apprehension.
Mr. Speaker, the most important part of life is to ensure that our families are healthy, our children go along and watch their parents grow old, and also for our children to do good in life. But by taking our children away from our communities, away from their families, and most importantly being institutionalized, is not going to achieve that goal.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister of Health and Social Services questions on this matter later. Thank you.
