Mendicino dodges reporters when asked to share how Bernardo’s transfer to a medium-security prison happened without his knowledge
Talk of a widely expected summer cabinet shuffle grew louder Thursday as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stayed away from the House and will be out of Ottawa on Friday.
“The short answer is it is unacceptable. And my job is to make sure that it doesn’t happen again,” Mr. Mendicino said.He did not say whether any staff were fired or faced other repercussions and his office did not clarify in a subsequent request, citing privacy. Mr. Bernardo was transferred to a medium-security prison on May 29 and the families of his victims were not told until the move was completed. The decision from Correctional Services Canada has triggered outrage among opposition parties. Mr. Mendicino also questioned the move.
He was also convicted of manslaughter in the 1990 death of Tammy Homolka, the 15-year-old sister of his then-partner, Karla Homolka. Ms. Homolka pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the crimes committed against Leslie and Kristen and was released in 2005 after serving a 12-year sentence. Mr. Bernardo also admitted to sexually assaulting 14 other women.
