Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has ordered Canada's prison commissioner to review the transfer of a child killer to an Indigenous healing lodge, as the Conservatives angrily demanded the government overturn a "terrible decision" in an emotionally charged House of Commons. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said Canadians aren't looking for a review, they want the government to overturn CSC on the transfer. The healing lodge holds both minimum- and medium-security prisoners. A heated exchange erupted in the HOC Wednesday over how a convicted child killer ended up in a healing lodge. "We have no say on inmate selection, but I believe if our elders were still a part of the process maybe Ms. McClintic wouldn't be at the healing lodge."
