A parliamentary committee voted Monday to look into why convicted first-degree murderer Luka Magnotta was quietly transferred from a maximum to a medium-security prison.
The standing committee on public safety and national security passed an amended motion during an emergency debate to hold one meeting about Magnotta’s transfer.
The committee is now calling for four witnesses to appear before it, including the warden of La Macaza Institution in Quebec, where Magnotta was moved in 2022.
