But, Mr. Blackburn, you weren't present at the hearings. You don't have access to any of that information, so with respect, you're speaking from a place of hearsay and news reports. What happened to this young woman was absolutely tragic, and none of us condone what happened. We sent our sympathies to the family.
We also know that they are extremely rare. In 2014, there was a gentleman found guilty of murder who had been released, and Mr. Harper never even called an inquiry on it. It was Christopher Falconer.
No one condones those kinds of murders, but we also know—the correctional investigator was here—that they're rare. They're extreme, and we don't make policy based on a few bad decisions.
You made a statement that this murder could have been avoided if the appointment process were the way it was before. Is that what you said? I wrote down, “We could have avoided this murder because of the appointment process.” Is that correct?
