Thank you, Chair.

Mr. Danson, I echo the comments that have been made by the committee so far in thanking you for your participation before the committee.

We received correspondence to the committee on October 5 from St. Catharines' city council. It called on the federal government to review the guidelines for transferring dangerous offenders who show no remorse or empathy for their crimes to medium-security prisons. In your capacity as a lawyer, would you agree with this request and why?
