I just have a question about clause 14 regarding judgement and also the situation we find ourselves with the ruling of a court case, I believe it was in Quebec, which now has a direct effect on sentencing young offenders; that in order to sentence you have to find an alternative to sentencing. I would just like to know, has the department had a chance to look at that in light of this legislation when we deal with young offenders?

Mr. Chairman, at this point we have not looked at this issue, but certainly I will discuss it with the Minister of Justice.

Can the Minister direct a question to the Minister of Justice, who is presently in the House, if you can, has his department had a chance to look at that ruling and see how it affects legislation when we talk about judges sentencing young offenders?
