Words can't describe the profound condolences that we all feel for the French and Mahaffy families.
Mr. Danson, I wanted to thank you profoundly for the work that you undertook to destroy the horrific videos that Bernardo made. I just can't imagine in today's social media environment what that would mean. Your work has been fundamental in preserving the dignity and memory of those daughters for those families. I'm sure it gives some small measure of peace in the absolutely horrific circumstances. Our profound thanks to you for that work.
We are studying now the system of transfer within the Correctional Service. We had Ms. Kelly from Correctional Service Canada. She came in and testified a week ago, saying that victim statements and statements from victims' families are taken into consideration, and at any time the victims can submit a new victim impact statement.
That says to me that the onus is on the victims' families to keep track of what the Correctional Service is doing. The onus is on the families to try to keep up to date, to ensure that the victim impact statements and victim statements are there. To what extent do you feel it is a disrespect to victims' families that the onus is on them?
Then we couple that with the fact that the Correctional Service doesn't provide the information that is so important on possible transfers. What is the impact on families when we have this double jeopardy of the onus being on the victims' families and the Correctional Service not informing them about transfers?
