The federal government says at least 20 convicted child murderers were transferred out of prison and into minimum security indigenous healing lodges in Canada since 2011.

McClintic is serving a life sentence for the kidnapping, rape and murder of eight year old Tori Stafford.
According to the data there are currently 11 child murderers being held in indigenous healing lodges across Canada.
The federal government says the transfers took place under both the Harper and Trudeau governments.
