Government Operations committee  It's very difficult for me to answer on behalf of the Canadian Forces. I really can't do that. What I can say is that the Canadian Forces brings a very unique capability to all of these events. They cannot replace police officers in domestic situations. It's not the role of the C

Government Operations committee  Yes, I definitely would say it was a success. As I've said in the past and will say again, I'm very proud of the integrated security unit and the job that was done in securing both of these summits. If you look from the outside looking in, from the standpoint of people who are in

Government Operations committee  The Montebello fence was available to us and we retained it so we can use it in future major events. The other fencing we utilized was on a leased basis, so we're not going to have that available to us later on. We leased it mainly because just the cost of storage of something li

Government Operations committee  We have a major event storage area where we will store any equipment that, as I said earlier, has a long shelf life and that we can keep and store. It can be utilized again in future major events.

Government Operations committee  Yes, there were, but I can't comment as to who they were or where they were from. That would be something for the Toronto Police Service to comment on when they're available.

Government Operations committee  They will have them to use at a later date. In the case of equipment that we purchased, we will put the equipment that has a longer shelf life into storage for future major events. We will get anything with a short shelf life out to people who need it, on a cost recovery basis, s

Government Operations committee  Again, it's the Toronto Police Service.

Government Operations committee  I would apologize, but I would have to go back to my previous answer on the concentration of the internationally protected persons in a known area, in known hotels, in known sites. The vulnerability on that is very high.

Government Operations committee  I think it's important to say that it's not that we're anticipating a certain number of arrests. We're planning for the likelihood of the necessity for people to be incarcerated for a period of time. It might be only an hour, a day, or two days. I don't know the exact number in T

Government Operations committee  I'm sure there was some discussion, but I can't recall it right now. I know that the Toronto Police Service would have had that in their planning.

Government Operations committee  I would tell you that the Toronto Police Service will be able to tell you that exactly.
