Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for their testimony today.
Before asking my questions, I would like to offer my condolences to the family and loved ones of Ms. Marylène Levesque.
Ms. Kelly, you said that it is extremely rare for such an event to occur, that is for an offender on day parole to commit a violent act like the one on January 22, 2020. However, even one case like that is one too many. I think everyone agrees on that.
I am very pleased that the decision to take steps to adopt a single community supervision model for federal offenders in Canada has been made, but, as a Quebecker, I am curious as to why the Quebec model in this regard differed from the model adopted in the rest of Canada up to that time.
Why did an event like that one have to happen before we decided to standardize this?
Why haven't all federal offenders been treated the same way?
