Louis Morissette said Thursday that Guy Turcotte has changed considerably and is not the same man as before.
Turcotte was found not criminally responsible in the deaths of his five-year-old son Olivier and his three-year-old daughter Anne-Sophie.
He admitted causing the deaths in February 2009 but denied intent.
Turcotte said he was distraught over the breakup of his marriage and didn't remember commiting the act.
Morissette was testifying at hearings on whether to release Turcotte from a psychiatric hospital or keep him there for another year.

But Turcotte's ex-wife, Isabelle Gaston, took issue with that view, saying she can't believe how specialists can reach the conclusion he no longer represents a danger to society.
"Nobody's going to come and tell me that guy isn't dangerous," Gaston said outside the institute, where the hearing was being held.
Gaston said Turcotte is merely adapting to his current situation so he can be freed.
"I am tired of not having anyone see that he's....like a chameleon. I can't take it any longer."
The hearing continues Friday.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version gave Morissette's first name as Guy instead of Louis. It also misspelled Morissette's family name

"Dr Morissette thinks that Mr Turcotte… is a very composed and lucid man, aware of the dangers and obstacles for the future (translation: he's a perfect psychopath with a mask of sanity who will tell you all you want to hear) (…) He thinks that Guy Turcotte was motivated by ALTRUISM when he killed his children [note: he stabbed them 40 times], and not rage against his ex-wife, who had chosen another man. “I have no clinical reason to think that his motivation was something else than altruism”.
I wonder who's the most psychopathic of the 2: the "expert" or the cold-bloodied murderer.
