Government officials in the Privy Council Office discussed a Conservative private member's bill launched in response to convicted killer Paul Bernardo's transfer to a medium-security prison, noting it would likely never hit Parliament, internal emails show.
Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through access-to-information law show staff speculated about the chances the bill would ever be debated, unless the Liberal government agreed to move it up the priority list.
"So the likelihood of this even getting through to be considered in this parliamentary session is very unlikely." Legislation proposed by opposition MPs sometimes passes, but it can be a lengthy process. Most bills don't get past the first step. Then-public safety minister Marco Mendicino said at the time that he found the decision "shocking and incomprehensible."
