Madam Speaker, I listened to my colleague from Kingston and the Islands, and I have been listening to the debate all morning. We heard his suggestion that this might be a Conservative fundraising tactic. It is also worth noting that it may behoove his government to act fast while there is still a majority of more moderate people in the House. At this point, rather than lob criticism at legislation that seems ill-equipped to adapt, maybe we should just reform it. Does my colleague have anything to contribute to a more substantial discussion about that?

Madam Speaker, I realize that the events mentioned by the Conservatives today are deplorable. I wonder if my colleague could speak about young offenders. What should we do with our youth? It seems to me that rehabilitation, which helps young people understand the consequences of their actions, always yields better results than punishment and imprisonment, especially in the case of youth. I would like to know what my colleague would propose for young offenders.
