Public Safety committee  For me, there were a number of emotions. Everything resurfaced and brought us back to when we were 16 years old and when Kristen was taken so horribly away from us. It left us in despair. There was feeling of hopelessness and injustice. We were feeling like our justice system had failed us again.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and honourable members. My name is Marcia Penner. I want to thank you all for inviting us here today to be part of this witness panel and to testify on the impact of the moving of Paul Bernardo and all other maximum security prisoners. When asked how this move has affected me, my quick answer is, “How hasn't it?”
