More doubt cast on claim the minister never knew about Paul Bernardo going to a medium security prison.
“I had said I would confirm the transfer with you. It will occur next week,” Kelly wrote on May 26 in an email with “High Profile Offender” in the subject line.One of the lines the Trudeau Liberals have been using in defence of Mendicino not being briefed that Bernardo’s transfer was happening is that his young staff didn’t know who Bernardo was. The claim has never made sense — now we know that this information was communicated with words like “High Profile Offender” in the subject line.
Does it seem likely that experienced civil servants would know about the transfer of a high-profile serial killer like Bernardo for months, have it confirmed days before it happens and yet never raise it with the minister? Not in any functioning office.
