Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too would like to thank our guests for being here today.
I commend you for your courage, ladies. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to relive those events over and over again. It's in the media. It still comes up a lot. Again, my condolences. I offered them at the first meeting devoted to this study, but I didn't have the opportunity to speak directly with you. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time, as the events are unfortunately resurfacing with this study.
Despite that, you insisted that the committee conduct this study. In a letter you sent on October 5, you asked the committee to launch a study to deepen public understanding of the reclassification and transfer of the offender in question and to restore Canadians' confidence in the public safety and justice systems.
I imagine that you have followed the committee's work so far, and have heard what Commissioner Kelly and the correctional investigator had to say.
To date, are you remotely satisfied with what's been said? Has it provided you with any comfort? Or quite the contrary, do you think that this won't help at all to restore your confidence or that of any Canadian who goes through events like this?
Like my colleagues, I'd like to hear from all three of you. Ms. Penner could answer first.
