Facing calls to resign, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino announced Wednesday he'll be issuing a 'ministerial directive' requiring Canada's corrections agency to reform how it handles high profile prison transfers, after it was revealed that the minister's office and the PMO knew about plans to transfer notorious serial rapist and convicted killer Paul Bernardo, months before it happened.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) informed the Minister’s office via email on March 2 and May 25 about the decision to move Paul Bernardo, from a maximum security prison to a medium-security prison. The Minister expressed shock and concern when the transfer became public in early June. The Conservative Leader called for the Minister’s resignation, citing mishandling of the situation and other issues.

Paul Bernardo, convicted of heinous crimes in the 1990s, is serving a life sentence as a dangerous offender. The transfer has caused outrage among victims’ families and the public.
