TORONTO - Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling for the head of the Correctional Service of Canada to be fired over a decision to move killer Paul Bernardo to a medium security prison.
The correctional service has said in a statement that it wants ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥s to have confidence in its decisions, so Commissioner Anne Kelly ordered a review to ensure the move was appropriate and evidence based.
But Ford said today in the legislature that his message to Kelly is that no ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥s have confidence in her decisions, and she should either step aside, step down or be fired.
Bernardo is serving a life sentence for the kidnapping, torture and murders of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s.
He was also convicted of manslaughter in the death of 15-year-old Tammy Homolka, and admitted to sexually assaulting 14 other women.
Ford says Bernardo should rot in a maximum security prison for the rest of his life.
