To the frustration and hurt of the families of Paul Bernardo's victims, the notorious rapist and murderer has been moved from a maximum security prison to a medium security one.
Conservatives are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to intervene and move Bernardo back to a maximum security facility. They also want Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino to resign over how his office handled information about the transfer.
Ashley Burke is a senior reporter at the CBC's Parliamentary Bureau. She's been looking into how the Liberals handled Bernardo's move and the controversy that has followed.
