Marco Mendicino adds to the Liberal government's paperwork problems
According to the version of events presented by the government, the minister's staff did not feel it necessary to tell him about the transfer of one of Canada's most notorious murderers until May 30, a day after the move was made and a day after Trudeau was briefed.According to the minister's spokesperson, the office spent those weeks exploring whether the minister had any discretion to overturn the CSC's decision — and determined or decided that no such option existed.
And if they really did neglect to alert the minister to Bernardo's impending transfer, it's still puzzling that they also apparently failed to keep him from describing the transfer as "shocking" when he. That's not the word to use when, conceivably, you could have known about the event in question for three months.
