Mr. Speaker, we do not have to change hundreds of years of tradition. This rule is already in place. The House of Commons has already given the authority to the RCMP to lead integrated security operations throughout the parliamentary precinct and on the grounds of Parliament Hill. That means that logically, if a foreign head of state were here giving a speech while that head of state is at war, we would ensure that the RCMP would vet the people who come within 10 or 20 feet of that individual.
My question, one more time, is why the government's police service, under the Prime Minister's leadership, did not do its job.
