Developments this past week over the transfer of serial rapist/killer Paul Bernardo from an Ontario maximum security prison to a medium security institution in Quebec. Opposition calls for the resignation of public safety minister Marco Mendicino. Claims by Mendicino's staff they knew of the transfer long before it happened but did not share with their boss.  PM Justin Trudeau similarly says he was long unaware of any transfer of Bernardo. Meanwhile Bernardo is scheduled for a parole hearing in November. Guest: Tim Danson. Lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families who want the killer returned to a maximum security prison.   Canada is not participating in major NATO air forces exercise in Germany.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Conservative Party of Canada MP/Deputy leader Lisa Raitt subjected Gerald Butts and Michael Wernick to what could be described as withering questioning at the parliamentary Justice Committee hearing this week. Meanwhile Liberals with the majority on the committee voted down a motion to have Jody Wilson-Raybould return to testify at the committee next week. As well, the Liberal MPs voted against a Lisa Raitt motion calling on Butts to produce all texts and emails with his staff on the JWR matter. MP Lisa Raitt shares her takeaway from the experience. On the day following International Women's Day we engage our show panel of very accomplished Canadian women on the number 1 news story in Canada to take on the news out of Ottawa this week. From the drama at the Parliamentary Justice Committee, to Trudeau's newser and calls from the opposition for Trudeau to resign, Catherine Swift, Linda Leatherdale and Michelle Simson are ready to tackle what happens next and how Canada will be affected. Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Brian Peckford is blogging about the current crisis in Ottawa. One blog piece is titled 'Why Aren't We Using the Words Right and Wrong? Have They Become Taboo, Too?' and the other is 'Thank God for SNC-Lavalin: We Might Never Have Known How Unethical This Federal Government Is.' Bian Peckford joins Roy to expand on the points he brought up in these posts. How nasty does it get when an MP refuses to stand and vote with their own federal political party on principle?  Our guest experienced this reality first hand. John Nunziata was a three term Liberal MP and member of the so-called "Rat Pack" with Sheila Copps. During the 1993 federal election the Liberal Party under Jean Chretien said they would abolish the GST if we're elected, and it became constantly repeated cornerstone election promise. But as soon as the Liberals were elected to form a majority government the "abolish the GST" promise evaporated. One Liberal MP alone decided to hold his party's federal government accountable and declared he would vote against the government on its first budget bill, which was a confidence vote.  Nunziata was kicked out of the Liberal Party and sat alone as an independent MP. Then, in 1997 Nunziata ran against the Liberal machine and their official candidate Judy Sgro in the York South-Weston riding of Toronto. Nunziata was reelected, defeating the Liberals who again won a strong majority government. John Nunziata joins the show to discuss his experience and what he believes Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are experiencing from their Liberal caucus mates and party leadership now. - Guests: Lisa Raitt Catherine Swift, Described as "Canada's most powerful woman" and former President/CEO of the CFIB.
