Alexandra Mendes at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I will share my time with Mr. Kania.

Thanks to all participants for their presentations.

First, I would like to thank you, Mr. Bérard, for a quotation that you included in your presentation document. With your permission, I'm going to cite it because I find it very appropriate.

I will quote from Mr. Bérard's presentation:

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Martin Luther King Junior said that.

I would say that for the purpose of our discussions here, I totally agree, Mrs. Rosenfeldt, that the person who committed the crime against your son should not get a pardon, absolutely not. But would you think that someone like Mr. Myette should be denied a pardon?
