Mr. Speaker, we are all here because a horrible, outrageous thing happened, and we would like to see if there is anything we can do to make sure it does not happen again.
I am wondering if the member could clarify her position and the position of the Liberal Party on the motion. She may recall back in 2017 when experienced, qualified parole experts wrote a letter to the Prime Minister and to Michael Wernick expressing their serious concerns about the changes that were made, which she outlined. There was even an opinion piece in Le Devoir about it.
The minister has been clear that he wants an internal review. In other words, the Parole Board will be reviewing itself, and we think that needs to be more open and transparent.
Would the member clarify if she and the government will commit to that review being done by the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security and that it will not be an internal review?
