Thank you, Chair.
First of all, thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. I'll start with Ms. Kelly.
In 2018, the Parole Board of Canada found that Bernardo was at a high risk for violence against a domestic partner, and that he was callous, glib, grandiose, cunning, deceptive, manipulative and a liar.
In 2021, the Parole Board of Canada found that Bernardo displays psychopathic traits, such as arrogance, entitlement and lack of empathy”, which they found to be not treatable. The Crown psychiatrist for Bernardo's dangerous offender designation found evidence of paraphilia, narcissistic personality disorder, alcohol misuse and psychopathy.
Patrick LeSage, Bernardo's trial judge, stated that Bernardo is “a dangerous offender” and “a sexually sadistic psychopath” whose likelihood of “being treated is remote in the extreme”.
Is it your position that this man belongs in a medium-security prison?
