After a review found the decision by Corrections Service Canada to transfer serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prison was “sound,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre blamed the decision on the Liberals’ Bill C-83 and committed to keeping mass murderers in prison “until they die.”

“I commit today that when I am prime minister, I will adopt a law keeping all mass murderers just like Paul Bernardo in maximum-security penitentiaries where they can do no more harm and where they have no freedom to harm other people,” Mr. Poilievre said during a press conference on July 20.
