Poilievre calls for Mendicino to resign over his office’s handling of Bernardo transfer intel
According to the Correctional Service of Canada it did inform the minister's office by email, first on March 2 and then again on May 25, about the decision to move Bernardo from a maximum security prison in Ontario, to a medium-security prison in Quebec. Now, the minister is facing a call from the Official Opposition to resign.
When asked on Parliament Hill on Tuesday why he wasn't told about the transfer until after it happened, Mendicino said there is "back and forth" between CSC and his department when it comes to prison transfers. "When Paul Bernardo was moved from a maximum-security penitentiary to a medium-security penitentiary, Minister Mendicino said he was shocked, totally shocked, and now we know that he was informed three months earlier, and did absolutely nothing," Poilievre said, listing a series of other issues he said the public safety minister has mishandled, accusing him of "lying" to Canadians.
