Public Safety committee  Thank you very much. Good afternoon. On behalf of the Peel Regional Police, my chief's management group, and me, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to address this committee with regard to the roles and responsibilities of Peel Regional Police during the G-8 and G-2

Public Safety committee  Sir, a decision of that magnitude isn't made by the policing partners. That's a government decision. They certainly didn't ask my opinion on it.

Public Safety committee  Yes, sir.

Public Safety committee  That is correct. On Saturday night our integrated security partners asked us for additional uniformed resources and we sent down a command team with supervisors and 120 uniformed officers.

Public Safety committee  No, we did not.

Public Safety committee  No, we did not.

Public Safety committee  It all depends on the circumstances and information that we have, and what evidence we have. It's sort of a general comment that you're making. It all depends on what my investigation says, what intelligence we have, and what evidence we have. Does that help you?

Public Safety committee  Once again, it depends on the circumstances. I'll give you an example. If I'm sent to a call where there is a husband and wife involved in a situation where there's violence involved—

Public Safety committee  But you asked me for an example.

Public Safety committee  Once again, Madame, it depends on the evidence and the information we have. My apologies, I'm--

Public Safety committee  Chief Blair, yes.

Public Safety committee  I'll just try to break that down. First, is the Feeney process new? No, it's not. But you're asking me to comment on a Toronto investigation, a Toronto operation. I don't have all those facts. You want me to give you a simple answer. Unless I have all that information in front

Public Safety committee  Sir, I believe you articulated that perfectly. Our officers are taught that right at the Ontario Police College from day one of their training.

Public Safety committee  Yes, sir.

Public Safety committee  Via what I've heard in regard to this committee and the media, yes.
