Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know I'm all for rehabilitation. I think the offenders are going to have to want it, and it seems like recently there's been a whole new philosophical approach to crime prevention and rehabilitation for young people. I'd like to ask the Minister, has this approach worked? Have there been less crimes committed because of this approach, or are we in worse shape? Thank you.
Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I made a statement on the youth crime in Inuvik, and my questions today would be for the Minister of Justice, Mr. Bell. I'd like to ask the Minister if there's anything that we can do as a government to have consequences for youth and/or their parents for criminal offences. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are certainly not contesting that fact. We have passed a motion in this House acknowledging that. We have not heard from the community requesting any support in the area of international recognition. We would be glad to sit down and talk to them along with maybe some of our partners and the Sports Council. Until that happens, we are not aware of what specifically is being requested. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the person's not my constituent but he's my brother, so I thought I better recognize my brother, Bob McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we will certainly share that information for the important recognition for the community to be the birthplace of hockey. I will commit with talking to my colleagues, the Minister of culture and ITI. This has to be community driven. If there is a request from the community, we will certainly follow up on it. We will be glad to entertain any proposals from the community. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I think it was during the last session in this House we passed the motion supporting Deline as the birthplace of hockey. We have had some discussions with the community. The community is looking at it as somewhat of a marketing or tourism, or could be viewed as a tourism attraction for the community. We are also looking at ways that we can do some promotion as a department.
