Madam Speaker, it is categorically false to say that. Bill C-83, which was aimed at ending solitary confinement, a practice that had been condemned by human rights groups and was found to be against our charter, was replaced by something called structured intervention units to allow for a more direct and equitable form of intervention in those cases. The link between Bill C-83 and the decision made by Correctional Service Canada to transfer this known killer is misinformation.

Madam Speaker, Bill C‑83 addressed the issue of solitary confinement. We changed the system to introduce structured intervention units. The Correctional Service of Canada has always had the authority to make such decisions. It is an independent service. It has to be that way. We were open to the idea of reviewing the situation. As the government House leader just said, we have to study bills the right way.
