Pierre Poilievre said that Marco Mendicino should resign or be fired over handling of the killer as well as use of the Emergencies Act, and Chinese-controlled police stations
Opposition Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the resignation or firing of Marco Mendicino over how the Minister’s office handled knowledge that Paul Bernardo was being transferred to a medium-security prison as well as other issues.
At issue is Mr. Mendicino saying he was shocked over a decision by the Correctional Service of Canada to move Mr. Bernardo, a convicted killer and serial rapist, from a maximum-security penitentiary to a medium-security facility when it turns out the Correctional Service informed the Minister’s office twice before the move.
During a news conference in Bagotville, Que., Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Mr. Mendicino would be speaking shortly to the issue.
