Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. I think all of us can fully sympathize with the victims and their loved ones. I think that's why we're all here today. It's to try to make some sense of the decisions that were made to allow an individual as heinous as Paul Bernardo to be transferred to a medium-security institution.
Ms. Kelly, I want to begin with you. On July 20, which was the same date that you and the Correctional Service of Canada published the review into the transfer of Paul Bernardo, the Canadian Press quoted you as saying, “The fact that he is at a medium-security institution does not negate the fact that he is a psychopath, and that he committed horrific and unspeakable crimes”.
How is it, then, that you could call Paul Bernardo a psychopath on that day—and you repeated it today—and still feel comfortable with your decision?
