I wrote Preston Manning 10 months ago and he has yet to reply. I've not been contacted by anybody in the Conservative Alliance. The changes that I am asking be implemented can be found on the web site items 1-6. Not one of the issues have been addressed in the new legislation, Bill C-3, by the Liberal government. As far as the impacts, I see an immediate substantive swing toward accountability and prevention if these initiatives are adopted.
Prevention is a great part of it.
But prevention has no place in law. You only enact a law when a crime has been committed. Intervention must start much earlier. Anybody brought into the system would be affected, I think the effect would be positive for the young offender and society. We need swift justice in this country.
